Ball of Light - Easter Island

This image was created using an Olympus EM10mk3! Their base model camera. NEVER let gear hold you back.
Funny how you can travel all the way to Easter Island, and still have some images that haven't seen the light of day.
I created this image by heading out in to water with a light stand, with gelled torch (@palateth_lp Blue) facing up the hill onto the Moai. Then used a @lightpaintingbrushes colour filter hood to create the "glow" from the Ball of Light up onto the Moai.
There were so many challenges to getting any light painting at all on this trip. I felt lucky, and honoured by a local Rapanui man, to be able to stay here for a night.
There is more Easter Island images and tutorials here: https://www.denissmith.com.au/easter-island

My incredible partners @olympus_au made this trip a reality, one that will stay in my heart forever!

Peace, Denis

Ball of Light

This was a shot just to test some settings for the next shot. The light in the background is Brian with a 52,000lumen military light rig designed for a drone (more from that monster later) and we need to gauge timing.
But it ended up being one of my favourite shots of the night. Feels a bit old Skool to me. And that always bring the wiggles on.

Why is the sky blue?

There is a lot to wrap your head around in the image. It is a single exposure, taken about 2 hours after dark. All of the ambient light is moonlight. You can see some blue sky up there. That can be confusing. Especially in the middle of the night. Well the sky is blue at night when there is moonlight for the same reason it is blue during the day. Moonlight is reflected sunlight. The rays react with the atmosphere to give blue. When there is no moon, the sky is black. There you go.

SUNDAY NIGHT

Getting some of the amazing Liquid Light Tools ready to ship to Europe tomorrow. I must be honest, hanging in this room making tools for other humans, makes me a happy boy.

Ball of Light - Alive

My man @bee.spins created a stunning glow in the forest last weekend. We had a blast!
SAFETY! Ok, so fire and forest DO NOT MIX unless it is safe. In this instance we would never have considered for one second to create this image if it had not been raining hard leading up the night. The forest floor and all of the surrounds were very wet. NEVER use fire in dry conditions NEVER! We had a team of people with us that were aware of what we were doing and ready just in case. Please be careful and don’t be a dick.
