Light Painting Reflection
What an unforgettable sunset and fun play with the light.
Here is another Tube Light Painting image I found going through my archives and seeing this reminded me of the most exciting new years celebration with the thoughtfulrider a few years. The location is known and many have gone there. Salar de Uyuni is the endless mirror located in the heart of Bolivia.
It is by far the best natural mirror that I have ever seen. I do love reflections as a feature for any photograph and I wrote an in-depth article before. Find it following the link.
Have a closer look at the photo and see the slide differences in the direct image and the reflection. I do love that.
Quick adjustments and then a few more Light Paintings before we go.
As you can see the sunset is perfectly reflected in the water of the Salar. So beautiful.
Looking through the archives I found a few shareable images not yet published. For the featured image I was walking behind the model waving the tube. In pursuit of finding a simplistic and harmonic shape. Which is not easy.
This shot was not published for that exact reason. At first, I thought these shapes are way too chaotic. today I really like the coincidental part of the shape.
The featured shot is a 10 seconds exposure time. That's not much in my world but when you move you move and it will be visible. Like I wrote in one of my earlier posts I love these little imperfections and I truly think they make it more hones real and relatable. It's not a Photoshop trick. Have a closer look on the left side of the image; that's me actually walking. You see there are my black rubber boots leaving a shadow because I did not move fast enough or too much light was on the frame.
It was so quiet and peaceful out in the flats. Lightning storms around us on the far horizon. Yes, that night was super special. Driving home with these kinds of shots on the SD card is considered the icing on the cake.
I wish I had more time out there. But every night ends at some time when the sun rises ;-)
Time to go now - let's pack.
After a long night, it starts to brighten on the horizon and the flashlight is not used so let us go back to the hotel ;-)
The images are all taken with a Light Painting Tube. Here is a quick wrap of what to look for when pursuing this technique.
I hope it was also inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.
