Gimme the moonlight....and lights from a drone

in Lightpainters United4 years ago

From a great evening's light painting and informal workshop for beginners and more advanced lightpainters up at Magpie Mine in Derbyshire. Magpie Mine was used for mining lead but is now a preserved and listed building, perfect for lighting up in the dark:

The flare was the result of fellow lightpainter Andy Wells using his DJI drone fitted with two LumeCube lights each pushing out 1000 lumens I believe. The Godox strobe inside the pump house was triggered remotely and I wandered around under the moonlit sky with an LED Lenser X21R2 to light up the rest. All shot in one photographic exposure.

Also on the same night I managed to capture old codger lightpainter, Stephen Elliot posing under the mine winding gear:

And it's always good to pop in a lightpainted orb with some random light waving:

About me: I specialise in shooting lightpainted images but occasionally dabble in urbex and artistic model photography. One to one or group lightpainting workshops are available (when this lockdown is done!), please comment below or contact me for more details.
