Our class last night in Langara's Advanced Studio Lighting course was 'Light Painting'. Most of my fellow classmates had never tried this before, but a few of us had been experimenting quite a bit and I think the results for a classroom setting were quite a revelation for people. Would have preferred to shoot in a studio, though! Peter was an amazing lighting guy and stood in a model when -- Oh great shock, one of our models didn't turn up! -- and he did a stellar job. Leala, the model who did turn up, was fabulous and a great actress. She totally got into the spirit of the moment. A total professional who I'd recommend to anyone.
What started out as a class that seemed like it was going to be pretty boring, ended up turning into a creative fest where nobody wanted to leave at the end.
Using colored gels yielded some interesting shots, as did a little $3.79 red laser pointer I got...
Shot on a tripod, most exposures twenty seconds to two minutes, with a cable release on bulb.
Nikon D700 and Nikon 24-70mm /f/2.8 zoom lens. I LOVE THIS LENS!
If you want to see the full shoot, please go check out my Flickr Set.
