Playing with Light by andycoleborn

Playing with Light

Thought I'd try my hand at light painting this evening - something I've done on the very rare occasion.

I'd kept these flowers as, despite being as dead as a dodo, I thought they might some in handy one day..

So my professional set up was - 1) set up ironing board 2) lean mirror against wall 3) drap dressing gown over mirror and ironing board 4) set up flowers 5) Set up a pile of books and rest camera on it (tripod in car / car in garage getting fixed) 6) take lots of photos with a long exposure wizzing a light around the said flowers...

Defination of irony

One of the nut-job muslim fanatics who was convicted this week (Well, a £50 fine that even David Cameron thinks is pants) of burning poppies and shouting "Death to British soliders" during the two minute silence in November last year lives in one of our properties...

He was in the office today (with two police officers acting as his 'bodyguards') demanding a move because he's been receiving death threats...

Now it's not often you can say this in the line of work I do, but he was politely told to "Fuck Off..."..!!
Very nice!!

I like your 'professional set up'. I've done quite a bit of light painting so know how difficult it is to get a decent shot.

LOL, brilliant! I really like this pic too, I keep meaning to do light painting on a slow photo day, but always forget/find something else to snap!

cool - my every attempt at light painting has failed utterly! :)

Sounds like the kind of set up I have for my photos! Also - :)

I think your definition of irony is correct! I also like your set up. Great effects with lighting as well.
