Light Painting Experiments at Middle Head Fort...
My friend Gerry and I recently received our order of miscellaneous lighting toys from an online store in Canada. The place stocked all sorts of crazy lighting toys and implements we thought we could repurpose as tools for light painting. Basically most of the stuff is cheap chinese toys designed for children (light sabers, fibre optic wands, light wands, space guns, finger lights, spinning glow ball, light necklaces and so on). It took two months for our crap to traverse the globe and arrive here in Australia so we figured we'd go out somewhere and experiment with how some of these things looked in the dark so we could assess what works and what doesn't and better incorporate them in future.
What follows are some of our crazy experiments on the night... These are all single shots out of camera and for most of them not a lot of post production work. It's all pretty bizarre stuff - what works for you and what doesn't? #1 Time Tunnel  #2 Tracks  Gerry brought his Russian GP-5 gas masks for some added themed interest which we looked to incorporate into some shots... #3 Apocalypse  #4 Warped  #5 Inner Space  #6 Merry Christmas!  D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

# 1 is awesome ! Love that tunnel/ path effect. So cool.
I have to say I don't much like the rest though, sorry. Too messy and crazy for my taste. EM1 l 7.5 l 12-40 l 14 l 17 l 25 l 45 l 60 l 75 l AW1 l V3
Re: Light Painting Experiments at Middle Head Fort...
Thanks Matt
Thanks Chris - and yes they are pretty crazy - that's what happens when you rock up with a dozen new lightpainting toys... you try to include all of them in the one shot so you can see what they look like  D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro Sticks

Re: Light Painting Experiments at Middle Head Fort...
They are great specially 1 & 5. It must look quite an
eerie place at that time of the evening without the light extravaganza.
