Hello Hive community!
I've been spending thousands of hours in playgrounds in my life, playing soccer, basketball and now making lightpainting sessions. For me, a playground is the perfect place to unleash creativity and express yourself.
When I first saw this playground, I instantly thought it would be a great location to score a couple of three-pointers. At second sight, at night, I thought about a camera rotation job combined with lens cap trick and abstract light-calligraphy after a tripod swap : nothing more, nothing less^^
For that one, I worked with 2 tripods :
The big one for the kinetic phase, using the stainless steel structure, a powerful flashlight and a piece of black cardboard to cap/uncap the lens,
The small one for the calligraphic part, with a RGB LED stripe monted on an aluminum rod like a light saber, a small RGB LED stripe monted in a tiny wood box and a translucent plexiglass rod monted on a small flashlight.
I first worked with the steel rods to draw the pattern I imagined for the background of my picture then I capped the lens, moved my camera to the second tripod without ending the exposure and removed the cap to resume my long exposure, by drawing the abstract light-calligraphy right in the middle of the picture and I ended caption.
