Lightpainting colours to make your eyes bleed

in Lightpainters United3 years ago

One of the challenges with lightpainting is coming up with something new and especially with regards to colour. So often I see primary colours, red, yellow and blue and combinations thereof but nothing new or unusual. This is a post where colour is a dominant feature and I've tried to be different.

Hanging around in a lime kiln

This is an old lime kiln in a derelict refactories manufacturing facility where I've used a yellow / green filter gel from packaging material:

Colours to make your eyes bleed

Hanging around an abandoned factory with a model and smoke grenades where I've mixed the colours with various light sources:

Evasive Maneuovres

Using a custom made filter box over a flashgun with individual filter gels makes for an interesting background when mixed with a little kinetic movement:

Setting a custom white balance

On my Sony camera I can create a custom white balance where I can programme the camera to fool it in thinking white is a different colour. This is the result, although green is still green wierdly....

About me:
I usually specialise in shooting lightpainting images but occasionally dabble in urbex and artistic model photography. I'm always on the lookout for someone to collaborate with; please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to create art.
