This rather rustic flight of stairs leading to Praia de São Sebastião in Ericeira, Portugal is but a small portion of the total stairs. There's an ancient fountain of water middleway with a basin to clean

Tonight's light painting session involved candles, diffused RGB lights and Fresnel lenses on the turning table while the camera panned a few times left and right. In an attempt to give a more metaphysical

Since this post from 5 days ago featuring a few over the top HDR photos was so well received I decided to upload some over the top HDR time-lapses too. This video highlights 3 iconic places in Amsterdam:

Using the same transparent mouth shield that I used in Convolutions but adding samples of fluorescent plexiglass lit by a UV light. As it often goes, picking favorites out of many outtakes (60 in this

Here is a time-lapse of the full moon I did a few years ago with a Canon 7D and a Sigma 18-250mm. I used a circular polarizer to get maximum contrast on the clouds. In the original sequence the moon was

Camera rotations of clear plastic mouth shields (see bottom) rotating on a turntable and being lit by assorted lights. These face shields are selling like hot cakes these days but they are developed for

I've been meaning to try using the backpack light that I showcased in this post to achieve similar results as a backlight scanner that some fellow light painters have been using. I chose the bigger WWII

Slow-motion video of sea foam at the beach in Wassenaar, The Netherlands. Shot with a Note 9 in May 2020. I used to think sea foam was a sign of pollution but I've read it's dissolved organic matter (including

Some Monster cans have very cool intricate designs with glossy and matte/textured prints on them so it occurred to me they'd be ideal for some of my camera rotations of rotating objects. I stacked two

Continuing with yesterday's setup (Magilight with Fresnel lens instead of diffuser) but this time rotating it at an angle on a lazy-susan and doing four-way camera rotations. I like how the Fresnel lens

Taking the Magilight for a spin without the standard diffuser. Instead I wrapped a Fresnel lens I salvaged from an old LCD monitor arround it. I rotated it on a tripod several times, then I flipped the

This is a stop-motion light painting video I made in 2017 using a telescope mount as a rotation device for several lights and refractors while the camera ping pongs on a slider. I'm also on Instagram -

RGB spots, rotating glass, rotating camera = eye candy

I created these photos by playing on my mobile animations of strobing Hive logo particles behind a glass angel during long exposures. I was looking for an object to reflect or refract the animations I
