Prism and Camera Rotation Light Painting Workshop result
-2k.jpg)
This is what happens when you place a prism in front of the lens during a camera rotation Light Painting. Sven Gerard was operating the camera and I was Light Painting. For these images, I used a fiber optic whip that is approx. 1m long and was wiggled just hanging downwards. Sven was rotating the camera in a continuous manner, yet stopping in 12 steps for a second to highlight some areas. After that process, I lit up the chapel.
Without the prism, you would not get to see the fractal displacement creating that beautiful spiral-like pattern. If you are interested in seeing the result without the prism see this image on my website.

Both images were conducted during a workshop together with Sven Gerard. We did share our knowledge with a handful of Light Painting enthusiasts. One of the advanced topics was camera rotation and special effects. (such as Prisms)
I hope it was informative and maybe also inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.
