Lighting-up, West Kennet Long Barrow. 2015

Hi Ho Hiveans,
Another exciting week gone by with more Light Painting adventures at the weekend, but I'm continuing to post from the archive until I catch up.

Still looking at images taken in 2015, from my Flickr account. Another great subject matter is the plethora of Pre-historic sites scattering the UK, almost all of which are accessible 24hrs a day. Perfect for a Light Painting session.

West Kennet Long Barrow is located in a field in Wiltshire UK just a short walk from the A4. One of the largest, most impressive and most accessible Neolithic chambered tombs in Britain. Built in around 3650 BC, it was used for a short time as a burial chamber, nearly 50 people being buried here before the chambers were blocked. Surrounded by farmland and many other Pre-historic sites in the near vicinity, like Avebury Stone Circle and Silbury Hill. Is always worth a visit and admission is free!

This trip out to West Kennet was the start of Light Painting trips further afield and away from what I would have considered as "local". Since then I have regularly travelled around the UK to visit locations and met-up with many other Light-Painters for nights of waving lights around. This shot also shows my early "Light Plants" that eventually evolved with different tools and learning new techniques.

WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING? Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing. Single exposure Light Art Photography /nolayer /notricks /nophotoshop Divider 5.png

Absolutely love the image with the light-flowers and the sparking rock. It’s almost like a real life cartoon! Brilliant work.

love the simplicity!

Often I feel overwhelmed by "too much" in light paintings.. :)

Thanks for the kind words, gotta admit that I often put a little "too much" in some of my more recent images. Keeping it simple is definitely a discipline in itself.
