Right in the spirit of the monthly subject i tried something iv never tried before.. light painting.
Now its my first attempt and i wont have time to try again so hopefully my shot will be worthy.
Ill do a little write up.
Had to wait for the place to get dark, so was gone 11pm when i started, not really as dark as id like but was as good as it was going to get.
So the scene with the standard pop up flash:
Now for the dark bit, quite fiddly as im not 100% familiar with the camera controls so was fumbling a bit but set manual focus, closed the apature down and set for a long exposure.
Now i add the torch!
This is my submitted photo for the competition:
With more time and space i think this could look pretty sweet. I could use a better torch as well, the massive maglite i used was spilling light everywhere
The rest of the set is here:
