Home Alone #1 - Lightpainting Photography

Hello Hive-Community, I hope you guys are still okay. My situation has not changed. I still can't work because of the lockdown. So I'm enjoying the time with my camera at home. 😎

Home Alone is a series of lightpainting images of the last days, with things I could find in my household.

In this shot I have illuminated a few toothpicks and then I placed a rotation in the middle.

First I exposed the toothpicks with a macro lens (40 mm), then I swapped the lens (to Sigma 28-70 mm) and the tripod to create the rotation at a different place.

It was one of my first attempts to swap the lens during exposure and I must say I'm really excited about what is possible with this kind of technique.

Another shot with the same technique.

Everything is far from perfect, but I am motivated to find out what is still possible.

How did I become aware of this kind of photography?
I am lucky to be in a community that is incredibly creative and inspires me permanently. After seeing mind blowing shots by @fadetoblack and @martbarras my interest was awakened to explore this technique more deeply.

If you want to take a closer look at this technique, @fadetoblack has published a tutorial about it. ➡️ The dark Art of Lens Swap

And now I wish you a relaxed and creative weekend.

The images were taken in several steps, during a longexposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing.

Peace, Love and Light
