This is not your normal kind of lightpainting shot but was made using similar techniques:

For this shot I used two lenses and two tripods. First I shot the image of an eye on an iPad and replaced the lens cap without ending the exposure. I then swapped lenses in complete darkness and moved the camera to another tripod which was pointed at a fallen tree branch. I removed the lens cap and fired a flashgun at one side of the tree branch and replaced the lens cap again. I then rotated the camera through 45 degrees and repeated the process of firing a flashgun and rotating for the full 360 degrees. Job done.

This image was created in one photographic exposure and isn't a Photoshop creation.

This is also my first image posted from the steempeak.com site which seems more user friendly so far!

About me: I usually specialise in shooting lightpainting images but occasionally dabble in urbex and artistic model photography. I'm always on the lookout for someone to collaborate with; please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to create art.
