Hi folks,

I hope you started your week nicely and ya'll are doing fine.

I've been spending thousands of hours in playgrounds in my life, playing soccer, basketball and now making lightpainting sessions. For me, a playground is the perfect place to unleash creativity and express yourself.

That picture was the first of the session : I always do a "simple" shot to test my "trick" before adding light-calligraphic work or include a model. Once the "basic" shot passes the "quality check", I go further into my lightpainting crazyness 馃榿

I worked with stainless steel rods to draw the pattern I imagined for the background of my picture (eight different angles, using the lens cap trick between each angle) then I ended the long exposure.

For that one, I worked with one tripod only. If you want to see what I can do using two tripods at the same location, check this post :

No layers /no Photoshop / no editing exept minor adjustments (lens correction profite, WB, contrast (+12)) and addition of my logo.
