Light Painting On Decoration With Camera Rotation

In the bathroom, I discovered a soap dispenser with green liquid soap. The thing was literally crying out to be photographed. I positioned the soap dispenser on a sideboard, illuminated it from behind with a torch and rotated the camera in 45° increments.
I show the result in the picture below. The torch is reflected on the surface of the sideboard. That was not very satisfactory.

The bathroom, in the picture below, was a blast! Red tiles and green ceramics! 😎 I took this as a sporting challenge and used the same colour combination in the cover picture. To fill the picture better, I zoomed in a little on the object. I set the lens to 55mm. There I illuminated the soap dispenser once in the lower part with a torch without a colour filter and in the upper part with a red colour filter. I set the torch itself, a "LIGHTPAINTER RYU'S LIGHTWORKS", to the lowest brightness level. I rotated the camera in 45° steps around the optical axis.

After I had finished the cover picture, I looked for other objects that I could rotate in the picture. My eye was drawn to a wall decoration. It consisted of a board on which bottles deformed by heat were attached.

I took one of the bottle boards from the wall and shone the torch onto the glass from behind. It wasn't too easy to expose the whole bottle. The angle of the torch had to be moved, but without bringing the surroundings into the picture.
You can see the result in the picture above. The camera was again rotated around the optical axis in 45° steps.

I hope you enjoyed the article and we'll see you here again next Sunday. Stay tuned!
