“We made a 2 minute lightpainting photo of an old walk`s mosaic in a centric park of Oviedo. The photo was taken from 12 meters high by two camera operators, while 19 people where painting simultaneously with lights, well sincronized and organized. The photo was taken at F16 and ISO 100. Many streetlamps where turned off for the event. The kiosk workers also participated in the photo by turning on the lights just 3 seconds for its right exposition and then turned them off again. People worked very well from the beginning and we got the final shot at the third attempt.
We are proud of our sponsors Led Lenser and Herramientas Lightpainting, which provided us with the best torches and lightpainting tools, without their support this would have been much more difficult. It was a great experience and we are very happy with the final photo”

Lechuzas are witches disguised as owls. These owls they woot at you, they call for you, they are looking for children! If you woot back the owl will attack you! If you run inside a few minutes later you will hear knocking at your door its always an old lady asking to borrow salt but be warned it a distraction, she is there to take the child…
The story of the Lechuza is just one of the urban legends that light painter Jake Ramirez will be illustrating for the book Beneath Texas! Those of us that are familiar with light painter Jake Ramirez’s work know that many of his images have an erie feel that remind you of some ghostly horror story from your childhood, so its the perfect fit.
Together with writer and long time friend Timothy Danger and backed by Filmexchange.org Jake will travel to many of Texas’s most notorious and desolate places and use light painting to recreate scenes from the darkest tales Texas has to offer, and he plans to shoot on film.
