For the promotion and progression of Light Painting Art and Artist.
Well this is freaking amazing. Ascending Technologies is a “leading UAS developer & manufacturer of technology”, they also enjoy Light Painting. To showcase their flight planning software AscTec Navigator paired with their AscTec Falcon 8 UAV they created what has to be the best quality Light Painting Drone video that has been made to date. Check out the video below and for all the details check out their website HERE!
From time to time we come across a light painting and just stare it wondering how the F@#! did they do that?!?! Break Down is a series if which I only ask the artist one question “How the F@#! did you make this” its up to the artist to tell as little or as much as they want. I saw the above image “Light Bender” from Chris Bauer and my eyes fell out of my head. I asked Chris to do a Break Down of “Light Bender” and instead of using a bunch of silly words to explain himself Chris did us one better and made a video showing the tools and the process! Enjoy.
Make sure to check out Chris’s website for more mind bending images! http://www.thefloweroflight.com
The team of Studio-LightPainting and Julien Breton have been breaking new ground in the area of Live Light Painting! Together they are working on software and performance pieces that are some next level work. Right now the current set up takes a lot of expensive equipment to achieve however there are plans to create a more cost effective solution for the rest of us Light Painters. Check out these BTS images and the video below for a little taste of whats to come!
And the winner for the November 2015 Light Painting Contest Themed “Portrait” is… Vincent Delesvaux, a.k.a. Diliz This beautiful Light Painting Photograph was created at F-5.0, ISO 100, during a 116 second exposure.
Vincent said this about the image:
“I remember now” has been made at one oclock in my home in 2012, with my ex girlfriend Cosima that I’ve met in Dharamsala, India.
We’ve been using an African mask, a scarf, électroluminescent wire and a little bit of optic fiber and the spotlight shifter 1.0 that I’ve diffused to be used at f/5.
I start to paint the back of Cosima with EL wire taking it with two hands in every end to get a better control of the shapes and a little bit of optic fiber… Then I used the spotlight shifter diffused to paint the right side of the mask and the bottom and both hands close to the face, taking care of not putting light on the left side to allow space for the second cycle and the other half face of the model. After that she took the mask off, join her hands and I light painted them and the left side of her face.
That’s it. Pretty easy!”
I don’t know about “easy” but it sure is incredible! For this fabulous creation Vincent will receive a LPP prize pack filled with treasures from our sponsors below. Make sure to check out more of Vincent’s Light Painting work on his website www.diliz-light.com and his Facebook Page HERE!
