My take on Xelanils great idea :) - Light painting with physics

IPClark

Having seen Xelanils excellent shots, I decided to have a blast at this too

I hung the torch from the cross strut brace in our conservatory. Put the camera on the floor underneath it, switched the torch on and gave it a good swing.

They're a bit messy (except the 3rd which is a little better) as the torch wasn't balanced and I really needed one with a sharper point of light but still, fun and easy to do. Going to have another play when I've got a different torch . Just pulled the Tint and Colour temps around in Lightroom to get the different colours. Not terrible considering they're my first attempt.

Those are nice, yeah british people say torch instead of flashlight (I think).

IPClark

Hahah.. yeah we say Torch

I guess it comes from the good old medieval days of flame torches used to light the way

Flashlight
