The winner for the Light Painting Photography contest for November 2018 is… Kim Von Coels for the above ghostly image created in her mothers garden with a little help from her friend Sophie!

Kim said this about her winning image:

This photo was created in my mothers back garden, with my friend Sophie Alexi, after several glasses of Port.

To create this image we used an old mosquito net, one torch (LED lenser P7.2) and a blue gel/filter.

First I got Sophie to stand with the mosquito net over her and i lit her and the net with the blue gel over my torch. I then removed the gel and flashed the torch toward the camera several times in a circle around her to create the stars. I then removed the net and asked her to crouch in the same place as she was standing and lit her briefly again. There is a bit of ambient light in the garden from the house lights and the sky is picking up the street lights from a nearby village.

It is an 89 second exposure at F10 and 200 ISO shot using my Nikon D610.

The winner for the light painting Light Blading contest is Francisco J. Lojo Pasín for the smooth spinning image above!

Fran said this about the winning image!

“I created this image using homemade plexiglass combined with one of my favorite lightpainting techniques, the camera rotation, but  in a weird way this time. I put the camera spinning over a turntable!”

I used two  flashlights with different power, the one with less power was attached to the homemade rectangle plexiglass and the other to a little acrylic bubble tube, both of them in strobe mode!

The process of taking the pic was easy. I held the two flashlights with a hand and while the camara is spinning I shot with a remote trigger and move the lightblades up moving my wrist to finally point the flashlights to the white roof and cut the exposure.

I tried with many different colors, motions, positions… but finally I decided not use colors and played only with the white balance of the camera. for this shot it was the ‘incandescente’ mode combined with white background ( the roof ) and different power of the cold flashlights,  made a great blue tones image, it’s a stunning spiral effect! I’m very proud of the results!

My gear: Nikon D5300 with the 18-140mm kit lens.

The settings were:
f16
ISO 100
3.7 seconds of exposure.

And the winner for the Fiber Optic Light Painting Contest is Kim Von Coels for the awesome image above!

Kim said” I created this image with the help of my friend Domenic and the lovely Maddy in an experimental session in my spare room.

Ever since seeing Tim Gambles images where he used a transluscent chair matt as a diffuser I have been searching for something interesting I could use to shoot through, eventually finding a roll of textured anti slip plastic in the attic that I had bought years ago to make home made tubes with. I taped the plastic to a rigid frame and asked my model to stand behind it, very close with only her hands lightly touching the plastic. I then breifly lit her face with a torch from above before using a red laser pen to colour her from the sides and then a home made black fibre optic tool fashioned from a kids lamp and a blue gel to surround her with the smokey effect, brushing around her body and onto the plastic with the ends.”

The settings for the winning image were: f8, ISO 200, and a 49 Second Exposure

The Gear Used: Nikon D610, basic tripod and a Nikon nikkor 24-85mm zoom lens 1:2.
