While camping two weeks ago I had played around with make some picture in long exposure photo using fire for playfulness so I was excited to try it again for this contest . Just so pass off I was camping again near Mt. Rainier and rather of getting some rest for a large hike the next day , a friend and I tried out a few shots . Hopefully all of our titter did n’t wake those in neighbour tents !

When I first heard about the contest I had no melodic theme how I was start to comprise a person into the gibe . I played around briefly with just motivate an LED light around in an environs which I call back was moderately cool . I finally settled on the idea of circulate around a person since I tried it and thought it look reasonably cool , but I had no idea how I was go to make it into a horizontal guess . My first idea was to circle around the person and then just have the light lead off and do its own matter . I then thought of doing a secondary empty wrap , which lead me to the idea of teleporting . From their my matching brother ( the issue in the gibe ) and I played around with how best to link up the two people and how to correspond the whole tracing into 30 arcsecond . This was the result .

Thought it would be easy to paint my arms in dissimilar places with light , so I chose to do a version of that DaVinci drawing off .
It seemed well-to-do at first , but with only a 30 - second exposure it was hard to paint consistently and neatly so it took about 30 tries .

I go down up the photographic camera on a tripod , take on my position and pressed the remote control . This was really my first endeavour , all the others did n’t seem quite as good . I stood in the corner of the elbow room and trace over myself with a diminished LED in the hope that it would look like a skeleton , starting with the feet and work up , ‘ drawing ’ the hands last .

My ally Greg had the thought to make a television plot out of light and have him play it . The first approximation was to do Super Mario Bros … we ended up doing niff . All the deferred payment goes to Lauren , Greg , and Sean ( in the exposure ) for doing the actual painting . I just take the impression .

A Few acquaintances and I decide to execute some unaccented picture in the backfields . We utilize flashlights to complete a routine of photographs until it got unexciting . So we decided to reverse the “ danger / exciting knob ” to eleven by using the engineering that gave the human sort warmth , hot meal , and hag burning , yes I ’m talking about FIRE . With the help of a compendious fire manufacturer and a canister of man atomizer , we created the submit image that oozes tycoon and maleness . We give you the Human Butterfly .

The place setting were : f22 , ISO 1000 , 30 2d shutter , and WB set to day .
In the pattern you stated that you want a lead of light and no cryptical globe without a design , so I decided to do a trail of orbs . I had my roommate hold my iPhone 4 in one manus with the camera heartbeat on for 10 seconds ( the self-aggrandising ball ) . Then I ask the phone and for the remain 20 second turned the flash on and off to make the small stars . I desire to give off the effect that he was blowing stars out of an orb .

We ’re turn up in Hilo , Hawaii , so we attempt to have a wide sort of backgrounds , from tropical forests to urban / industrial building . We use a Canon 40d television camera , with a Sigma 50 mm 1:1.4 lens , and practice long exposures and a crew of friends to sample different shots . The picture was take with a 32 2nd photograph , at 1.6 and iso 100 . We purport to limn colouring material and lights towards movie , comic , and video game acknowledgment . This shot was exalt by the ideas of urban angels as well as the comic Holy Scripture “ Constantine . ” We take the barb in a photoflood canal off a timberland route a few nights ago , and were trying to adumbrate the graffiti or observe the best ones for a good background knowledge while torching our model with flashes and making them stand still in with cars headlights ruining shots and causing a lot of respawns .

These were taken in the cellar of my building . Exposure was limit at 25 sec , f/22 with a 18 - 55 outfit lens on my Nikon D40 , ISO 200 . I used sparkler for the light source and let me say you , they were super punishing to get , that s all I ’m going to say about that . I had a friend stand behind me in the same position as me , and she moved her weaponry harbour the sparklers to the boxwood and towards my mitt . I only used photoshop for breaking ball , contrast , exposure , some color adjustment , and to sidestep the water a bit . Sharpening was done in Lightroom . I was kick the bucket for a Cole kind of effect from iNFAMOUS(videogame ) . I used oil on my skin to give a second of a sweaty effect and even though you ca n’t see it , some dirt from the floors : D. In the end the pictures came reasonably close to the visual sensation I had .

Taken with a Canon 5dii , with a 24 - 105 mm f4 / L lens coif to 24 mm and f5 , with an iso of 400 and a 25 2nd shutter . Lighting was provided with a dual lead question lamp ( intended for encampment ) , and a diminished lightpanel with a dimmer .
This is what happens when my friend Andy explodes in anger — we were just stand around in shadow taking unexposed depiction of ourselves , and then BAM !
earnestly though , we set up in a big cellar , and to get this shot Andy stood on the floor and I balanced atop a icebox . The sluttish control board produced the thick streak of light and crystallise us two subjects , while the chief lamp was used for the double wave . We find the crushed ISO caused fairly much everything that was n’t directly illuminated to be obscured . We were n’t able to obviate a fleck of motion fuzz as it took some time to paint the subjects sufficiently , and peculiarly in my case it was a tough pose to hold .

For this shot , I decided to seek to make a silhouette of my supporter using glowsticks in a perfectly dark-skinned basement . I used a Canon XSi with a 50mm/1.4 at f/9 , ISO 200 and bulb .

Shot was contract with my Nikon D300s using a Tokina 11 - 16 mm f2.8 UWA electron lens . tv camera was ready to bulb mode , 11 mm , f2.8 , iso200 and was script held resting on my chest with a remote trigger controlling the exposure which live on 3.1seconds . I was set on my back under my supporter as he was spin around a burning brand woolen digs around his heading via speaker wire . After a first failed attempt at using saucer washing steel woollen we taste again 2 dark ago with the real passel and this along with some other awing shots came out . We had been look at flick from a tenuous distance and I noticed that when he spun it like a helicopter there was a overnice umbrella effect to the sparks . I settle a nip underneath the canopy of flame would probably face middling epic so I laid down under my supporter and say “ whatever you do , do n’t allow that thing unload . ” Enjoy !

Inner Light used : Two modest lights from wallmart for the trading floor and the tyre and rider and a big workshop visible radiation for the tracking light .
Out with the lady friend for some beers and wings and we started brainstorm for mind for this weeks picture challange , end outcome was the Tron bike idea . We put down tape so we could keep the the lines on the floor straight and used garbage can lids as guides for the tyre . It was just the two of us so it took two photo to create the gridiron on the floor , 1st photo for the lines left to right hand and the 2nd photograph for the lines back to front and a third photo to get her on the bike with the tire and the furrow on her and the drop behind Light Within . The images were then layered together in photoshop . take us 75 images to get the 3 that we liked and it was in the garage in the middle of the day so we had to black out the windows and keep the room access closed .. Let just say it was really hot in the service department .

I tried a few different ideas and decided on the haunted gazebo . I have some somewhat cool effects with swinging around some Christmas light but I think it was a little more fun to go with a game theme . or else of a flash at the end I turned on the flashlight end of the glowstick for a creepy event .

For some reason I had the estimation of emulate Da Vinci ’s Vitruvian Man , so I enlisted my brother ’s service and we experience to work .

Then I drew the box / helical and this is the answer .

Due to the lack of a tripod , I had to get creative with shooting . My subject Isaac , and I were at the park when I adjudicate to take the characterization .

I found this window human body in a dumpster a few days ago . I have always plan on using it for this aim but never go to it . Once I saw this workweek challenge I catch my chance .

Wow , that was really , really stupid …
This photo competition literally sparked the creative / crazy in me .
Andreas : * Hmm , i enquire how lighting my hand on fire with lighterfluid will look like in a moving picture for this competition ! * -End of view , execute idea! … .AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH ! ! ! !
Just kidding ! I took a couple of precautions , here ’s how i did this . First , i filled a bucket with cold water , and set it beside me ( just in case … ) , then i put a wool mantle in my lap . I then coated my hand with aloe - gel to isolate from the heat from my mitt being alight . Then i pushed the button to start the exposure of the photo , lit up my hand for half a second and put it out with the cover . I did not get wound at all , but decide not to do a repetition performance cause it dumbfound a little bit more out of hand ( pun intended ) than i wanted . Not the best looking piece of picture taking I ’ve done , but i image it would be be stupefied to let it go to wasteland .

The idea behind this shot is a remix on a pantomime trap in a “ box seat . ” We spent 20 transactions outside getting eaten by bugs before we moved at heart . After brainstorming ideas for a while , this was our darling . It took quite a few tries to get the knack of paint the boxful . To add more character , we made it so that KT start out to pop out of the box seat .
This shot was a joint effort between myself , Ansel Santosa , KT Lindemann ( the subject field ) and Alec Lambert .
