Lightpainting in Melbourne

Postby hellman on Fri Feb 26, 2010 10:06 am

A suggestion to get some keen people together on a weekend in the near future for some lightpainting. I'm sure we can come to an agreement on location once we find some participants.

I would think cars and motorbikes would be ideal, but i'm open to suggestions. Maybe if anyone knows of any friends with some 'rad' cars that are keen to get some 'hopefully' great pics of.

I can offer my VL commodore for some paint action. I cut a few coils out of the springs when I was a young lad so if you're into that kinda thing it looks kinda cool and might come up well. The paint is a little rough though, but lightpainting seems to smooth imperfections out somewhat. Besides everyone here are great PP'ers right? :)

I also can get hold of a LED 'wand' and have a sturdy tripod, that everyone can use.

So, who's keen?

I have no idea about Melbourne because I'm a sydney sider, however after being told about the freephotoguide website.

Nice links natskis. Let us know when you're down Melbourne way and we'll snap some sights.

As for lightpainting, I can't say i'm any good at it but I have had a crack previously;

I'm interested depending on when and where.
I'll be able to organise cars too. I'm a moderator on FordXR6Turbo.com and i'm sure there would be a bunch of guys willing to have their car used in exchange for the shots.

Good to hear you guys are in Wink and rflower. I guess we leave this running for a little while and drum up some interest before we organise a date/place/time. It'd be great to get some decent wheels to the occasion too Wink, nice work.
