Zoom in and out during the Exposure
I just found another Dandelion-like flower head and had to get the flower and light paint it. This thing is huge. The one that I got is almost like a meter tall with a stem. So that happened in my studio this week. If I find a few more of the style I can fill a calendar soon.
Ich habe gerade eine weitere Löwenzahn-ähnliche Blume gefunden und musste die sofort mitnehmen und LightPainten. Dieses Ding ist wirklich gigantisch. Meine hier ist fast einen Meter hoch mit einem Stiel. Wenn ich noch ein paar mehr finde, kann ich damit vielleicht einen Kalender füllen.
Simplicity first
Let us see whats possible with this beauty here.
Just 6.2 seconds at F22 with the camera set to ISO 100, just as the lighting test.
Just 12 seconds at F22 with the camera set to ISO 100, adding some colors to test what works.
Simple straight Zoom
In quick a 3.2 seconds exposure with one hand on the lens and the other shedding the light on the flower things can go fast.
This was a little more relaxed 11 seconds.
7.4 seconds
7.6 seconds
Zoom & Twist
The camera was mounted to my Camera Rotation rig, making it easy to turn the camera in a coordinated way to the left and right. Making sure the light hits not the entire flower, I created a much more complex composition.
Die Kamera war auf meinem Kamerarotationsgerät montiert, wodurch es einfach war, die Kamera koordiniert nach links und rechts zu drehen. Indem ich darauf achtete, dass das Licht nicht die gesamte Blume beleuchtet, habe ich eine viel komplexere Komposition geschaffen.
Going from left to right in 3 steps in 24 seconds at F22 with the camera set to ISO 100. That's it.
Von links nach rechts in 3 Schritten in 24 Sekunden bei Blende F22 mit der Kamera auf ISO 100 eingestellt. Das war's.
To get the effect one really has to make sure that only parts of the flower get light that are oposite of the camera turning angle. It's like cutting your hair in the mirror. It's always the other side. 😎
Um diesen Effekt zu erzielen, muss man wirklich sicherstellen, dass nur Teile der Blume beleuchtet werden, die dem Drehwinkel der Kamera entgegengesetzt sind. Es ist, als würde man sich die Haare im Spiegel schneiden. Es ist immer die andere Seite. 😎
I hope you found the story somewhat interesting and these images inspirational. If you have more questions please do not hesitate. I am happy to share my knowledge.
If you think this is Spam, why did you read this far, and why the fuck bother you? Move on from your self-righteous mind state and bury yourself. Don't bother about what others may find interesting. Just stay in your bubble and ...
Cheer Up, Guys!
