Light Circles

Playing in my garden with a maglite on the end of a piece of string, btw it was absolutely black could not see a thing.

[Lou Ann]

This is fabulous Peter. So, I don’t see you, how did you twirl the string without being there? 😊

[Babs]

It isn't easy to do is it. David is usually my 'twirler' well until his arm gets tired, ha ha.
Well done. I am going to give light painting a go again soon, but I have been waiting until the evenings get warmer.

[Henri Russell]

So impressive. I don't know how you continue up in this somehow.

[Leslie]

wonderful sphere

[Carole G]

Very well done

[Peter]

@louannwarren Thank you for your lovely comment Lou Ann simple explanation I was all in black and moved around the outside spinning the light on a string over the centre point and use a 15 second exposure, I can assure you I'm in there just blurred out:)

[Peter]

@onewing Thank you Babs for your interesting comment, I have to do this outside work by myself no help from Jenny, its was absolutely pitch black and about 5 degrees C at the time, btw the best technique I find is to have your arm at waist height and keep it still and spinning the light, your arm never gets tired:)

[Peter]

@henrir Thank you Henri its quite a simple technique see the attached link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXID_HqdmxE

@lesip Thank you Leslie for finding the time to comment, its just a case of trial and error:)

[Peter]

@yorkshirekiwi Thank you for you comment Carole I was planning to do it the night before but it was getting frosty so stayed indoors:)

[Hazel]

How funny if you had looked out and seen it still there in the morning (just teasing!) Well done, impressive!

[Peter]

@quietpurplehaze Now that would have been a first Hazel I could have captured it in daylight and posted it on my 365 project page, lol:)

[Caterina]

Nice and complete. Lots of fun isn’t it?

[Peter]

@caterina Thank you Caterine yes great fun to do, no need for expensive equipment just a case of trial and error, the first five attempts were all blank I had forgot to remove the lens cover, lol:)

[Caterina]

@pcoulson it was completely dark anyway…

[Nova]

Great capture Peter and awesome that you nailed the focus for being in the dark. :)

[Peter]

@novab Thank you Nova, set the camera up in manual focus, then picked my spot to play with the light illuminated at that spot focus the camera on the light:)
