“Light Experiment #5 – Dale George
Dale writes about his image:
“Light Experiment #5” is a photo I shot in my garage/studio. It is a lesser known type of photography known as Light Painting. This particular image was shot using only the light I “painted” in a completely dark space. The photo was shot in an 8 second exposure with the camera firmly mounted on a tripod.
The light that created the image was achieved using only a small flashlight and an RGB LED strip mounted on a homemade tool which I spin as I slowly walk forward. Two small acrylic blades were mounted onto the tool, and the light that emits from the flashlight and led’s shine onto the edges of the acrylic blades. Small colored gels are used to create whatever color I choose to create in the photo.
No Photoshop trickery was used, just some sharpening and a crop were used. The image is exactly what the camera captured. Shot with a Canon 5D Mark IV, 24-70mm lens at ISO 500, aperture 7.1 and an 8 sec. exposure.
Congratulations Dale ! Look for Dale’s image soon in the Daily Courier
Rust in Peace – Greg Smith
Greg says of his image:
“Rust In Peace” was my representation of “decay”. A visit to the wreck of the Peter Iredale was a side trip from our camping trip to Cannon Beach last year. I was hesitant to shoot the scene due to the mid-day sun and abundance of tourists. With a little coaxing, I grabbed my camera and looked for a vantage point and moment that made for an interesting (and people free) image. A mask layer was used in Lightroom to balance the mid-day sky with the rest of the image. The image was shot using my Canon 5d Mk IV and 24-105mm lens. The camera settings were: ISO 400, 24mm, f/18, and 1/80 second.
Congratulations, Greg!! Look for Greg’s photo in the Daily Courier!
