Light Painting Mosaic Project

by

 

Light Painting Artist Dan Chick has put together a really cool website and light painting project called Piece Out! Piece Out is a site focused on bringing light painting artist from all around the world together to work on collaborative images created one piece at a time! This is how it works…

“A source image is carefully selected (some work much better than others) and it’s sliced into individual tiles. Each of the pieces is then assigned to different members of the website that have selected to participate in the project and the artist then uses light painting techniques to create their piece or pieces of the overall picture. The website will automatically assemble the individual light paintings together to create the new light painted version of the original image.

Please head over to the Piece Out Website and participant! There are two open projects going on right now including a Van Gogh collaboration with LPWA for The International Day of Light! Below is a smaller finished version of the Light Painting Photography Logo using this technique created by Dan some years ago!

Light Painting Photography Contest Winner, January 2018

by

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.

You can check out more of Kim’s amazing light painting work on her Instagram page here and Her Website here!
