Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light

Those light painting pictures make me want to finish my rainbow saber and get a camera capable of longer exposures. I wonder if I could get it working before the Q8 shows up…

Also, +1 what he said:

Nice pictures Stephenk. You have a real talent for making light art. :+1:

I am just into the dark arts, dont need no light other than what mother nature provide.

Thanks for the link stephenk, those pictutes just look amazing!
+ about 500 to the positive comments of others before me! . :+1:

I think you’ve wandered into the wrong forum, buddy.
Them’s fightin’ words ’round these parts.





Thanks for all the comments.

I’ll start a topic as soon as I get the chance on light painting overview and tips.
Need to start and finish my overdue Nitecore NU30 vs NU20 CRI video review first.

I post process from single RAW exposures in Lightroom. So not really true HDR, but often post processed to maximise dynamic range. I’ll talk about exposures, post processing, and gear when I get around to writing a dedicated thread on it.

Well i do need a good flashlight mother nature or not, some times i take pictures in really dark places and those i cant find without a flashlight.
Often quite hard to figure out where i left the Nikon Dslr on the tripod, long exposure times mean i myself and my mind can wander off while the camera do its thing.

No photo post processing going on here, never have never will.

WOW! Lots of beautiful photos there!
Found a source for my wallpapers :smiley:

Yes, fantastic stuff stephenk!

OMG this stuff is top notch. I’m really interested in how you created the “blue fog” effect on some of the pictures.

I have a feeling the blue fog are a LED mesh like the ones you drape over stuff at x-mas that is being pulled along the ground

No that’s not it i think now, like politicians say you have a stand until you take a new one.
It cant be a mesh as that would create a much more massive appearance of the “fog”

The blue fog on the stairs is now my background photo. I’m also curious as to how it is generated

I’m guessing the blue fog is el-wire that is just wiggled around on the ground.

The effect is created by waving around a cool white EL wire. Purchased from GearBest, and cut down to 2m in length.

I assume its a dual take, or 2 photos overlaid ?

Any actual Q8 news? Any word on springs from Thorfire? Any missing v3 prototypes appeared?

When they have something they will be forthcoming.

It is forthcoming:

No. I only use single exposures. Balancing the exposure is the tricky bit! No Photoshop, only adjustments in Lightroom. The EXIF data is viewable if you are interested.
