Billard

Part of our newly purchased house is a room with a pool table. If you have the opportunity, why not try light painting on it? Light painting on the pool table? Not a bad idea! Or is it? I couldn't really think of much to do. But I still wanted to try it out.

We played a round first before I set up the photo equipment there. The table is in good condition, the balls roll smoothly. I'll just have to get new cues. They're all bent and the tips are worn or badly damaged.

Then I started to prepare the set. This of course included the dollar bills as a stake and the can of beer on the edge of the table. The room was actually supposed to look a bit foggy. Somehow the e-cigarette didn't want to work that evening. In the end I decided against it.

First I played around a bit with the billiard balls on the table and brought them into the picture several times. I didn't find that very convincing.

So I started a second attempt using a light blade on a MagiLight tool. This tool can be used to set different color and strobe modes. For the title image, I decided on an oval blade. I moved the blade over the pool table with short swings.

Finally, I tried a color change mode (red and blue), again with an oval blade on the MagiLight tool. I show the result in the picture below.

I hope you liked the short post and I'll see you again here on HIVE next Sunday. So stay tuned!
