The Key West Lighthouse done in black and white.

This was taken on my first session trying long exposure photography with my new Breakthrough Photography ND filters. This shot was taken with a 6-stop

Great shot of an old rope that was very worn and frayed offering some nice textures and contrast.

My lovely fiance and I a few days before our wedding.

Behind The Lens

Location

This image was made in my bedroom, on a small table.

Time

Late at night, the idea just hit!

Lighting

This was done with Light Painting. I purchased a few small pen lights and, with the lights out and the curtains closed, I shined the lights little by little across different areas of the subject(s) Really cool technique, I really enjoy the process!

Equipment

This was a Nikon D300 with a 50mm f1.4 lens, f8 w/ a 20 sec shutter speed. ISO200. It was certainly on a tripod.

Inspiration

My family lives 1200 miles away and I was reminiscing them. My dad and I would toss the ball a lot when I was young so the idea just sort of sprung into my head. I took this image and put it on canvas for a Fathers Day gift one year.

Editing

Yes, there was some Lightroom used to even out the lighting in spots, and a bit of color correction. Not much had to be done really.

In my camera bag

It’s a never ending rotation. Right now, Nikon D700 105f2DC 135f2DC I’m into portraiture right now.

Feedback

I can’t tell you how many images I took of this setup, 30? 40? The nature of this sort of capture with the long exposure times lends itself to many “mistakes” such as over-lighting one area or not illuminating one area enough. Light too close or not close enough for the intended effect. It helps to sort of mentally plan out how you want it to look before you open the shutter. That being said, each image is completely different even though the subject and the camera never move. That’s the beauty of the light painting style of photography. It’s really a spontaneous and creative technique!
