Massive Light Painting at Noche Blanca Oviedo 2013
This October light painters Frodo Kolo (Children of Darklight), Nacho García-Cosío (Fotografi.es), Iván Lucio and Javier Jiménez (Riders Of Light), Iván Barco (Herramientas LightPainting) and 17 volunteers collaborated to produce the above massive light painting piece at the Noche Blanca in Oviedo, Spain. Here is what Frodo a.k.a Children of Darklight had to say about this amazing light painting work!
“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”

About Cenci Goepel and Jens Warnecke
A moon of light in the noon of night
“Lightmark,” the body of work by Cenci Goepel and Jens Warnecke, was created by photographing moving light sources at night. The resultant ethereal images inhabit a dramatic and often eerie landscape. Long exposures , up to an hour in length, are required to allow torchlight to take form and for the very low level of ambient light, usually from the moon, to illuminate the scenery. Seen through the viewfinder, the landscape often appears as solidly black. Using a digital medium format camera for their photography, Goepel and Warnecke focus on photographic techniques rather than post processing to achieve the results they are aiming for. The couple travels across the world to find hidden landscapes that are yet to be captured and portrayed as a light painting
