Exploring the shadows of the main hall
As you hopefully saw a few days ago I went to Barcelona where I met up with Xiao Yang. The second location we visited was the Torre del Comte de Fígols which is located about an hour and a half outside of Barcelona.
Today I share with you my favorite Light Painting shots of the night. On the side, you get some more graffiti. The specialty here is that for these Light Paintings I really had to run up and down the stairs to get to the rooftop of the building and back down where the camera was.
Wie Ihr hoffentlich vor ein paar Tagen gesehen habt, bin ich nach Barcelona geflogen, wo ich mich mit Xiao Yang getroffen habe. Die 2te Location, den wir besuchten, war der Torre del Comte de Fígols, etwa 1.5h außerhalb von Barcelona.
Heute die coolsten Light Paintings dieser Nacht. Nebenbei gibt's noch mehr Graffitis. Das Besondere an diesen Bildern ist, dass ich für diese Light Paintings wirklich alle Treppe hoch und runter rennen musste, um auf das Dach des Gebäudes und zurück zu gelangen.
Here is the one that i can show in landscape mode.
Hier das Bilde welches man auch im Querformat zeigen kann.
The featured shot was taken on the first floor of the building more or less in the center of the main hall that leads all the way to the rooftop of the building. To create the shadow effects used the window frames of one side to cast shadows on the opposite side.
So that means I ran up to each story and circled the entire floor. While doing so I was throwing the light to the other side of the hall and cast the shadow of the window frames to the other side.
Just have a closer look.
Die Hauptaufnahme wurde im ersten Stock des Gebäudes mehr oder weniger in der Mitte der Haupthalle aufgenommen, die bis zum Dach des Gebäudes führt. Um die Schatteneffekte zu erzeugen, habe ich die Fensterrahmen jeder Seite ausgenutzt, um Schatten auf die gegenüberliegende Seite zu werfen. Das heißt also, ich rannte in jedes Stockwerk und umkreiste die gesamte Etage. Dabei warf ich das Licht auf die andere Seite der Halle und die Schatten der Fensterrahmen zeichneten sich an der anderen Seite ab.
Schaut mal genau hin.
Check Xiao Yang's website and her amazing art.
What were the settings?
What you see is a featured Light Painting is a single 307-second loooooong exposure time photograph. The camera was always set to ISO 100 and the Lens to F11.
Important to notice here is how you get the shadows. Make sure you don't move too much the position of the light. If you want more hard shadows. I did not want perfect lines but also to get some light in the darker areas.
Was Ihr als Cover Light Painting seht ist eine einzige Aufnahme mit 307 Sekunden Belichtungszeit. Die Kamera war auf ISO 100 und das Objektiv auf F11.
Hier ist wichtig, zu beachten, wie Ihr die Schatten herausarbeitet. Stellt sicher, dass Ihr die Lampen nicht zu viel hin und her bewegt, wenn Ihr harte Schatten wollt. Ich wollte keine perfekten Linien, sondern auch etwas Licht in die dunkleren Bereiche bringen.
Just setting up the camera and working on the composition. Are all the angles working?
For this shot, I did not run up all the way to the top but walked around the edges of the room and lit up straight up.
Einfach schnell die Kamera aufstellen und an der Komposition arbeiten. Funktionieren alle Winkel?
Für diese Aufnahme bin ich nicht ganz nach oben gerannt, sondern an den Wänden des Raums herum und direkt nach oben geleuchtet.
This was I think the 3rd attempt to understand the situation and light conditions, already thinking of color and how the shadows may come out.
Not just perfect yet but on the way to what was in my head.
Dies war etwa der dritte Versuch, die Situation und die Lichtverhältnisse zu verstehen, aber doch auch schon mit Fraben und Shatten im Sinn.
Noch nicht ganz perfekt aber schon nicht so schlecht.
To get the crossing shadows on the ceiling I had to shed the light from each corner of the rectangular rooftop. To understand this you may go back to the first shot and remember what you see in the next shot. That would be the angle I was shining the light from.
Um die sich kreuzenden Schatten an der Decke zu erhalten, musste ich das Licht von jeder Ecke des rechteckigen Daches abstrahlen. Um dies zu verstehen, können Sie zur ersten Aufnahme zurückkehren und sich daran erinnern, was Sie in der nächsten Aufnahme sehen. Das wäre der Winkel, aus dem ich das Licht strahlte.
This is what the structure looked like from the side. Already a cool subject by itself.
Get to the Location
Like I mentioned before it was super easy to get to the place since it had no fences no difficulties to get there.
Als ich schon beim anderen Post meinte; es super einfach dahin zu kommen, einfach nur ein Stück den Hügel hinunter durch ein paar Büsche laufen. Keine Zäune, keine Schwierigkeiten, super easy.
Super cool Location. I would do this one any time again.
Da fahre Ich auf jeden Fall nochmal hin wenn Ich in der Nähe bin, soviel ist klar.
I hope you found these images and the story inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.
If you think this is Spam, why did you read this far and why the fuck bother! Move on from your self-righteous mind state and bury yourself.

Another cool post buddy, its interesting to show how you were problem solving and recording the different effects of your lighting. I might have to start taking a few set-up shots to give examples of what different lighting does to a particular subject. Was going to start trying to capture a little bit of video too, only time will tell. Peace.😎
It has become a bit of a habit and I must say it also helps me get more structured as well.
This turned out super awesome!
Thanx mate. Always happy when it turns some heads. Glad you are a regular visitor to my blog 🙏
Kriege da ganz starke Panteon Ideen mit der Location ;)
Is auch cool wenn man nicht super Weitwinkel hat, weil es so schön hoch ist.
Yay! 🤗
