Popped to Hayling to play with the camera club's light sabres. The last time they were used we were joking about a possible lockdown and keeping 2m apart- if only we'd known what would be announced four days later and that it would be the end of our lovely club.
Many thanks to my wonderful assistant Mr R (aka Him) who suggested the ubiquitous light pollution of Pompey would add to the composition, who pressed the shutter and counted the seconds.
If He develops malaria as a result of 365 and the many mosquito bites he endured, he's going to be very, very upset!
Absolutely love this one! Please tell me everything you talked about so I know what to prepare for in our future! Kudos to your lovely assistant and here’s hoping he does not come down with malaria!
@grammyn Ummm He was directing me, standing in for so I could get focus and he counted the seconds of the exposure as I moved. Not sure what else we chatted about (except there was half a bottle of white waiting for us in the fridge at hone....)
I really love the capture. I think the faint light making the thin line in the distance adds to the scene. Hope Mr. R stays healthy and his idea was a good one.
I stood still for a count of three twirling the light to get my silhouette, I then moved to the left for five and then to the right for another five moving the stick up and down. So chuffed it worked as I planned - this was last shot we did, only one like this. Being eaten alive by bugs!!!
I've passed on your praise to MrR! Thank you all 😊
