February Light Painting Contest Composition

January/February Light Painting Photography Contest

by

The theme for the first light painting photography contest of 2013 is to create a Kinetic light painting image. What the hell is a kinetic light painting you may ask, well friend this is where the light source is static, a.k.a. NOT MOVING and you MOVE the camera to create the design within the frame. Some people use a technique like this one from Tobias Richter:

Using this technique, Tobias created radical images like these.

and some like the infamous Tacky Shack prefer to be a little more wreckless and throw their cameras in the air in a technique known as a “Camera Toss”. Here is one of those, If you do this technique with your new 5D Mark III your dumb.

If you would like to see about 600 more of these awesome camera toss light paintings from Tacky Shack click here.

Personally I think that you should wait til about midnight, set up a slip and slide down a long hill in a random place, run some LED lights on the sides, put your camera in a ziplock and slide away. Then submit your single best kinetic light painting image to contest(at)lightpaintingphotography.com by the 21th of February to win your LPP prize pack and a featured post on the website! Please remember to follow the THEME of the contest and resize your image to 600 pixels on the longest side and 72 dpi. If you do not follow the theme of the contest your image will not be accepted, and as always no F#@&*! photoshop.

February Light Painting Photography Contest Winner

by

And the winner isssss……

Clay Howard Smith for this beautiful light painting portrait. There were several really good images entered and it was very difficult to select a winner. The 3 images that had the most reader votes were 20, 48, and 49. Dean Chamberlain, Aurora Crowley, Nocturne, Myself, and last months winner Aaron Ploog all made the final decision and the final vote was four for #20 and one for #49. Thanks to all who entered click here to check out the new contest and keep on reading to find out what Clay had to say about his winning shot!

“This image was a bit of a nightmare to produce. I’ve been using fiber bundles in a lot of photographs lately thanks to the inspiring images of Aurora Crowley and Patrick Rochon. The exposure involves taking the fiber bundles, exposing them, and then highlighting the form underneath with a smaller torch. The real trick is not to overexpose the photograph, which was definitely frustrating at times. My website is www.clayhowardsmith.com“
