l i g h t . p r o j e c t

l u m i n e s c e n c e (full version)

shutter speed: 20 secs, aperture: f/29, iso: 200, focal length: 50mm, wb: auto, af-s nikkor 18-70mm dx, kaiser 67mm uv filter, manual focus, tripod mount, fired via remote

"essence of light... paint with it."

feeling bored and waiting for next project, i decided to give it another try with long exposures. i setup and mounted the camera to tripod and set to 20secs with smallest opening (f29) and lit up the candle. then in total darkness i pressed the remote and used my cellphone's flashlight with red cellophane and played around with it. no further post-processing was done except resizing it to my usual frame.

shutter speed: 20 secs, aperture: f/29, iso: 200, focal length: 35mm, wb: auto, af-s nikkor 18-70mm dx, kaiser 67mm uv filter, manual focus, tripod mount, fired via remote

"shed rays upon the darkness. give us light."

playing with long exposures again. the setup was the same as the luminescence photo but a different approach. i tried not to move but it is hard to keep since my full arm was rotating fast. started from big circle near me then extending my arm towards the camera on a circular motion.

these shots can be achieved you have full manual capabilities to your camera and a tripod mount. if you don't have a remote, you can always go for a timer setting. keep on experimenting and have fun!
