Sundown and Stars


馃摲 Nikon D750 - Nikkor 17-35/2,8 - f16 - ISO 50 - 9,6 seconds

Hello friends of darkness. I'm spending some time in Mecklenburg at the moment, in the middle of nowhere. Peace, nature and relaxation. There are some trees by a lake nearby. I rotated one tree here during the blue hour. During a single exposure I rotated the camera around the optical axis. During the rotation I had covered the lens with a black cap.

Hallo Freunde der Dunkelheit. Ich verbringe im Moment einige Zeit in Mecklenburg, mitten im Nirgendwo. Ruhe, Natur und Entspannung. An einem See in der N盲he stehen einige B盲ume. Einen Baum habe ich hier w盲hrend der blauen Stunde rotiert. W盲hrend einer einzelnen Belichtung habe ich die Kamera um die optische Achse gedreht. W盲hrend der Drehung hatte ich das Objektiv mit einer schwarzen M眉tze abgedeckt.

As it was still quite bright, I chose ISO 50 and f16. I triggered the camera and after about 1 second covered the lens, then rotated the camera around the optical axis, then covered the lens again for 1 second and finished the exposure.

Da es noch recht hell war w盲hlte ich ISO 50 und f16. Ich l枚ste die Kamera aus und deckte nach ca. 1 Sekunde das Objektiv ab, drehte dann die Kamera um die optische Achse, deckte dann das Objektiv nochmals f眉r 1 Sekunde auf und beendete die Belichtung.

This is what the scene looked like without camera rotation.

So sah die Szene ohne Camera Rotation aus.

I changed position and took a few more camera rotation pictures.

Ich wechselte den Standort und nahm noch einige weitere Camera Rotation Bilder auf.


馃摲 Nikon D750 - Laowa 12/2,8 - f2,8 - ISO 400 - 30 seconds

When it was dark and the stars became visible, I took this picture. I lit the scene with the Emisar D4K and the Noctigon DM11. Since the exposure time was limited to 30 seconds, it was not that easy. It took me a few tries until the illumination was as I had imagined. It was getting cold and damp. I packed up the camera and the torches and headed back.

Als es dann Dunkel war und die Sterne sichtbar wurden nahm ich dieses Bild auf. Ich beleuchtete die Szene mit der Emisar D4K und der Noctigon DM11. Da die Belichtungszeit auf 30 Sekunden begrenzt war, war das nicht ganz so einfach.Ich habe einige Versuche gebraucht, bis die Ausleuchtung so war, wie ich mir das vorgestellt hatte. Es wurde langsam kalt und feucht. Ich packte die Kamera und die Taschenlampen ein und machte mich auf den R眉ckweg.

WHAT IS LIGHT PAINTING?

Light painting is a unique form of art. The darkness is illuminate by the artist with diverse light sources and light traces are paint into the picture with various light tools. Various techniques are use, such as camera rotation or other movements of the camera during the exposure. The creative possibilities are almost unlimited. All the pictures were taken during one single exposure. Apart from denoising, sharpening, cutting and possibly adjusting the white balance, the pictures are not processed on the computer.
