Quarantine
It hit me at the vernissage last weekend in our town hall. CORONA! That means at least five days of quarantine. What drama! I had planned a whole week of light painting with friends in Berlin. Nothing will come of it now. The only alternative left now is light painting alone at home. 😔
So I made a virtue out of necessity and experimented a bit in my office. Since a model was also out of the question due to the quarantine, a plastic head (Mr. Smith) had to be the model for me. At least he was very patient with me and kept nice and still. 😉
I had the idea to create an android that is in the MATRIX. Parts of the electronics built into the Android should become visible.
This required some preparation.
Auf der Vernissage am letzten Wochenende bei uns im Rathaus hatte es mich erwischt. CORONA! Das heisst mindestens fünf Tage Quarantäne. Welch ein Drama! Dabei hatte ich eine ganze Woche Lightpainting mit Freunden in Berlin geplant. Daraus wird jetzt erstmal nichts. Als Alternative bleibt jetzt nur noch Lightpainting allein zu Haus. 😔
Also machte ich aus der Not eine Tugend und experimentierte ein wenig in meinem Büro. Da ein Model wegen der Quarantäne auch nicht in Frage kam, musste ein Plastikkopf (Mr. Smith) für mich Model stehen. Wenigstens war er sehr geduldig mit mir und hat schön stillgehalten. 😉
Ich hatte die Idee einen Androiden zu schaffen, der sich in der MATRIX befindet. Es sollten Teile der im Androiden verbauten Elektronik sichtbar werden. Dafür waren einige Vorbereitungen notwendig.

Lightpainting
First, a BMP file for the MATRIX theme had to be created for the background and loaded into the pixel stick.
Then a circuit board was attached to a tripod using a clamp. For this part of the shot I used a Canon EF16-35mm ƒ4L macro lens.
I exposed the circuit board with a Convoy S2+ (blue LED) covered from the front with a black tape. I drilled a hole in the tape. So I created a fine beam of light that I used to trace the parts of the board I wanted in the picture.
Then I put the tripod with the board to the side, changed the lens and exposed "Mr. Smith" approx. 45° from behind with a Convoy S2+ (LED red).
Finally, I took the pixel stick and rotated the MATRIX image 360° to create the tube effect.
Die Platine belichtete ich mit einer von vorn mit einem Klebestreifen abgedeckten Convoy S2+ (LED blau). In den Klebestreifen bohrte ich ein Loch. So erzeugte ich einen feinen Lichtstrahl, mit dem ich die Teile der Platine nachzeichnete, die ich im Bild haben wollte.
Danach räumte ich das Stativ mit der Platine an die Seite, wechselte das Objektiv und belichtete "Mr.Smith" ca. 45° von hinten mit einer Convoy S2+ (LED rot).
Zum Schluss nahm ich den Pixelstick und drehte das MATRIX-Bild 360°, um den Röhreneffekt zu erzeugen.

Ultimately, I wasn't satisfied with the result and rejected the idea.
