Description

Camera was set on Bulb, F16 for about 20sec's. A kids sparkler was then used to 'paint' the flowers. Any comments welcome. A first attempt!

What a great idea! I think it turned out quite well. I like that you can still see the color of the daisies...it really seems they are exploding! I hope that you will experiment some more with this sparkler idea. #1738932

Robyn Gwilt August 22, 2005

Thanks 4 all the lovely comments. This is when I wish I had digital, as it takes so long so see the end result! Getting there though! In the meantime, this was another attempt (amongst about 50 others :) #1749059

Amanda Price September 26, 2005

What category did you enter this in? It seems like you could put it into flowers or special effects. Try entering it again. It's an outstanding shot. So creative! #1888575

Robyn Gwilt September 26, 2005

Thanks Amanda - I think I will re-enter it - maybe special effects - watch this space :)

Robyn Gwilt October 27, 2006

Thanks Cheryl - 1st and only last year sometime - I don't seem to be able to repeat it :) #3512391

anonymous A. October 27, 2006

And you're asking for advice on exposure??!!

Great creation: I last saw a "light painting" like this years ago, a building after dusk photographed with the camera on bulb and the subject lit by someone walking around (and iside) it seting off a flashgun at strategic points. As you can see, it impressed me enough to remember for a long time...but this is much better: the concept, composition and execution are all terrific! #3512429

Robyn Gwilt October 28, 2006

LOL David :) This was actually shot on film, when I really didn't know a lot!! It was part of a course we were doing, and I only saw the result once the film was developed. I need to try to do it again on digital, then I'll know I got it right!! Thanks for the kind words though!! #3512854

This is an awesome picture! So different and creative. One of these days when I retire, hopefully I will have time to try a lot of the ideas I am finding on BP! #3679659

Robyn Gwilt December 07, 2006

Retire??!!! By the time that happens, I'll be too old and shaky to hold my camera, and will really have to rely on autofocus!! Thanks for your comment Debbie - keep experimenting :) #3679661
