Hi guys,

Got the chance to do some more light painting the last weekend and thought I'd share some of the shots...







It was extremely windy that night which made it hard to control the light, but I got there in the end.

C & C appreciated as always.

Hi Adam - I like the idea of the distortion in the first but maybe it needed even more (closer) to really emphasise it - making it a statement which is intentional. I don't like it in the second and I reckon you'd have been better off getting further away and using a longer focal length for this angle of view.

Lighting wise I like the balance of the ambient you've got - that twilight sky is very nice - the jeep is perhaps a little too well (evenly) lit perhaps (maybe a few subtle shadows would have been nice) but thats possibly just a personal feel.

Thanks Rodney.

I've never tried anything other than short focal lengths. I'll definitely have to take a longer lens next time and work with that for a bit.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Superb work as usual Adam, the first is the standout for me. I can't offer any suggestions for improvement, you nailed it!

I think this is a very good sample of how light painting
is used as a tool to enhance an image and not as a
subjects on on its own. Well done!

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Nice Adam, as I mentioned on gplus, i think the harsh light line on the ground could do with a bit of feathering and those pipes in the BG are bit annoying. Other than that they are pretty cool.

Whilst white subjects are easy to light, I think they present a light uniformity issue, often you get those patches of grey which i find annoying, they can't be explained away as shadows and for me I have found selectively brightening and desaturating some areas in post can help the uniformity.
