Sydney Night Shoot - May 25, 2005 - Lighting Up The Night

[Nnnnsic]

With the help of WendellT who suggested we try this...

[Thommo]

very nice, although im thinking it would be a cool effect to use the torch or whatever to outline buildings in the background.

If you managed to write Sydney, Australia with the Harbour photo it'd be worth a mint

hi Nnnnsic i used a torch to do the pic in the last comp , i drew the number 3 on a brick wall while drinking too many beers and playing with the exposure ,, your shots are much flasher than mine thou . nice shots - and u have given me some inspiration to be silly again ....thanks

hehehe, it looks like graffiti works.

[BBJ]

I agree birdy now we know what they get up to in there spare time.
But yeh it's different.LOL

[Glen]

Leigh, you and Wendeel make a good team, like the second and last, could really be used well

[MHD]

What would be truly cool would be to shoot it with several cameras at different angles and make an animation

[stubbsy]

Leigh

The second and last ones work for me - I can almost read letters . The others don't for various reasons - first one is way too blown in the corner, third it's too insignificant, others look too random.

I understand conceptually how this was done, but can't for the life of me work out why I can't see a person at the end of the light. Can you enLIGHTen me

[wendellt]

Thanks Leigh, good job
Next time I think we need to add more dynamic aspects and refine the execution of our light grafitti
1. We need an assortment of lights, a rainbow set of glowsticks, torches, firesticks, 18 century french imitation art nouveau lamps, glow in the dark teddybears etc
2. We need to effectively use the space, start far gradually straffing side to side working the entire area, to finish close to the camera with a fill flash at the end so we can capture the lightscriber.
3. Improve on the legibity of whatever we are trying to write
4. Hire breakdancers with glowsticks attached to their shoes, to lay down precision B.R.E.A.K.S doing whirlpools and stomping all over the place with slammin' grace
5. Lastly a Dynamic malange of fireworks, and explosions over a picturesque postcard Sydney Night Scape
Then and only then will we be genuine urban poets of light and slander.

Keep it Real Brother!

p.s stubbsy
no person at the end because we mortals don't reflect off enough light for the camera to capture, unless we use a fill flash at the end

[Glen]

Like your style, Wendell

I almost feel as if we're from the ABC with that finger writing...

Little does everyone know that you were trying to write the words "D70 users".

If you look at shoot 2, you kind of see these words backwards.

Lesson is to go forwards you need to go backwards.

[Nnnnsic]

Which is what I was saying on the night... we needed to write like a dyslexic.

Or you could just flip the image in photoshop
Leigh i wasn't trying to spell anything, I was trying to swat away an annoying bug
