Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was done with a simple set up at home.

Time

It was done at night so I could get a dark room to work in

Lighting

My light sources for this photo are plexiglass blades from Light Painting Brushes and Liteblades with Klarus, LED Lenser torches attached.

Equipment

I use a Sony a7 with a Canon 17-40mm L lens attached, a manfrotto tripod and the plexiglass blades to produce the light trails.

Inspiration

I enjoy light painting and wanted to try more abstract work, my recent photos have been inspired by Patrick Rochon's blade work.

Editing

No post processing, sent straight to phone via wifi and uploaded.

In my camera bag

Sony a7, Canon 6D, 17-40mm L lens, remote shutter release, tripod, Klarus torch, LED Lenser torch and plexiglass blades.

Feedback

It's quite a simple set up. Camera on tripod, focus on the area that you will be waving the light source. Camera set to bulb mode with f/11,ISO 200 and WB daylight. Release the shutter with the remote wave the lights and close the shutter. It's a case of practicing until you get something you like
