  • Photographic Light Theorem

    AIA Day ruined my time to have fun with the blogs that really mattered. Like this one.

    After messing around with Light Painting. I realized we could probably do something more crazy. Something like, make multiples with ourselves, using the long exposure time, and multiple flashes. Back in the olden days, to include people into the light painting, we used one flash during the long exposure period and started painting to add the light paint effect.

    We were suppose to wait for a friend to catch up with us to do the pictures. But we got too excited and went and did it without him. It's ok, we went out to take a picture of the NYC so all was not lost.

    We did a bunch of tests but finally we started understanding how to get it done. So now I present to you, The Non-Photoshopped Raw Edit pictures that I was happy with. I shall call it. Light Cloning. 


    STOP! HITTING YOURSELF! My favorite shot of all!


    My awesome posing skills while we were still testing the theory


    Jan knows what Jan is about to do


    Royce is cheering on for Royce to kick Royces ass. Oh yeah. 

     

    As you can see it was a Success! We even made 3 clones and probably could have made more if we wanted :) Some things I did notice. The reason why we were see through was because the light wasn't strong enough on us. If it was a weak flash or we were too far away from the flash then we would easily get see through. So we had to make sure we were close when we were flashing the subject. 

    Bonus Pics!

    After that we went to the river front across of NY, Jan showed us a good spot to take pics, and my was it lovely. 


    Finally took a picture of the city :D I always wanted to do this


    The skyline and the moon.


    Silhouettes enjoying their time


    A couple more light painting shots


    Just us going crazy now


    A drunk couple came up to us and asked if we could take some shots for them.. it wasn't at all awkward. 

    Favorite phrase the guy said, "yeah.. how you like that ass?" "yeah you like that?
