Simplistic Light Painting Camera Rotation
Time to for some simple subjects. Often I strive for the most awesome location or most beautiful location as a subject. Why is that? Well, here I have tried to keep it somewhat simple. Since everyone around me was busy photographing something I had no interest in I decided to walk around and look for some small things. I really want to learn to pick up on the beauty in the small and underrated subjects. Here is one subject to be featured. What you see is just a simple line of grass in the cracks of the concrete at the old military airfield that we have featured a few times now.
There were so many spots for us Light Painters at the Airfield Schoenwalde. @Lichtkunstfoto, 
Zeit für ein paar einfache Kompositionen. Oft strebe wir ja nach der tollsten Location oder dem schönsten Modell für unser Motiv. Warum das? Heute probieren wir mal was einfaches. Gras! Da alle um mich herum damit beschäftigt waren den Audi TT zu fotografieren, an dem ich kein Interesse hatte, beschloss ich, herumzulaufen und nach kleinen Dingen zu suchen. Was Ihr hier seht, ist nur ein einfacher Grasstreifen in den Betonrissen des alten Militärflugplatzes. Ein paar Fotos gabs ja nun schon aus Schönwalde.
Es gab so viele Spots für uns Light Painter auf dem Flugplatz Schönwalde. @Lichtkunstfoto,
The first image is a Camera Rotation in five and the second Light Painting is two steps throughout the exposure. For both parts, I had to run around and behind the grass to light it up from different angles.
Das Hauptbild ist eine fünfstufige und das zweite Light painting ist eine zweistufige (180°) Kameradrehung, bei der ich beim ausleuchten um das Gras rum laufen musste um es auszuleuchten.
What were the settings?
What you see is the main featured Camera Rotation Light Painting is a single 53-second exposure time photograph. The two-step photo is a 37-second exposure. The camera was always set to ISO 100 (to allow for areal loooong exposure) and my LAOWA 12mm Zero D Lens to F16.
Was Ihr oben als Feature Camera Rotation Light Painting seht ist eine Einzelbelichtung mit 53s Belichtungszeit. Meine Kamera war auf ISO 100 eingestellt um entsprechend Zeit zu gewinnen und das LAOWA 12mm Zero D Objektiv auf F16.
Always room for improvement
The following image shows you nicely when I decide to run again. In the center bottom part of the image you see me lighting directly into the camera. That's not what we want, so I run around again.
Trust me that happens more often than I wish for. Great for my summer body 2025 to keep running.
Das folgende Bild zeigt euch schön, wenns mal schief geht., wieder zu laufen. Im mittleren unteren Teil des Bildes sehen Sie, wie ich direkt in die Kamera leuchte. Das wollen wir nicht, also laufe ich wieder herum.
Glaubt mir, das passiert öfter, als ich mir wünsche. Großartig für meinen Alabasta- Sommerkörper 2025, um am Laufen zu bleiben.

Here you see the very simple setup and my spectacular subject. If you have a closer look you can see the camera rotation tool.
Hier seht Ihr mal wie mein so schön einfacher Aufbau aussah und mein spektakuläres Motiv. Wenn Ihr genau hinseht, findet auch mein Kamera-Rotationsdingsta.

To get a feeling about the location I created a video with the footage I got during our last visits. Please check out the video for aerial shots as well.
Wen Ihr einen Eindruck von der Lokation bekommen wollt schaut euch folgendes Video an. Ich habe da mal ein LocationCheckVideo mit dem gesamten Foto- & Videomaterial von unseren früheren Besuchen.
Camera Rotation what?
Camera Rotation is just what you think. During the exposure, the camera is turned in a few angles and while doing so I also light up the scene. Everything is one exposure without any trickery.
Kamera Rotation Light Painting?
Kamera Rotation ist genau was Ihr jetzt denkt. Die Kamera wird während der gesamten Belichtung gedreht und dabei wird von mir die Scene eingeleuchtet.
Not too long ago I wrote up an article on the topic. It has been published on my website and here on Hive as a blog post if you are interested in this technique.

If you think this is Spam, why did you read this far, and why the fuck bother! Move on from your self-righteous mind state and bury yourself. Don't bother about what others may find interesting. Just stay in your bubble and ...
