warming-up to challenge 36.

Hi y'all.


Here is a picture I did last evening.

How to make a flashlightdrawing ?
It is dead easy.
Grab a flashlight and set yourself in front of your camera.
I use my sony 828.
speed set at 30 sec and aperture at f8 (smallest on my camera ) .
Set timer and a manual focus
For this tulip pic I made 4 pictures.
One for the tulip and one for each word.
Then I blended them all together in one picture and added some colour.

It is fun ! BIG FUN !
Everybody join the Challenge .
( just make sure there are good batteries in your flashlight.)

Bye,
Peter Dumont

That's gorgeous, I especially like the purple light in the tulip. I also like the ocasional flare and that bit of green light on the floor under the flower. I would darken the background and apply heavy noise reduction, but that's just me. Thanks for the tutorial

Dead easy for you maybe!
You have more talent in your little finger than I do in total.

Neat Stuff, Peter!!!
Are you writing backwards, too or flipping the images so the letters come out correct? What ISO setting are you using here? My 828 has a lot of noise in night shots. I'd like to try something like this sometime, too~ Nee

Hello Nee !
What I do is:

I put my 828 in Manual mode, f8, timer, and 30seconds ( or shorter if I don't need that much time ).

When I write words, I flip them over afterwards, so the letters come out correct .

for the tulip it took about 7 takes untill I was satisfied with the result .
Sometimes I need as much as 20 takes when something is difficult for me , so
don't be disappointed if it doesn't look good after your first 3 takes.

Just do some more !

Succes !
