@dibzgreasley@lynnilou this was done by attaching lights to a bicycle wheel and rotating it slowly, one turn, then turning lights off and moving back a few feet and doing it all again, etc
Then some of the head stones were lit wit a flash of light. I then put an oil paint filter on it to give a more eerie effect. You need to look at it large to see it!
I can just picture the scene with bicycle wheels and luminous lights in a graveyard.... enough to make the inmates turn in their graves! Fav for bravado!
Cool shot and read how you did it but still cannot get my head round the bike wheel and how you got the dome effect. I assume the wheel was flat on the ground ?
@scarybird not quite. The bike wheel had a rod sticking out one side by about 6 inches. So put the rod end and one side of the wheel on the ground and rotate around the rod for one rotation. Turn lights off and move backwards. Put lights on and do another rotation of the wheel etc
Still confused do you mean like a spinning top just before it stops - the stick is the point of axis and the wheel rim rotates around it with one edge always on the ground? How many lights were fitted? It's a great effect and may want to try at some point. Must buy a speedlite, think I will have to eBay later
