Painting with light
15. January 2009 by Friedhelm.
This is an interesting image. One sees a carousel moving. One cannot recognize the figures because they are blurred by the motion. The blades on the top are moving parallel to the rotating figures however they are sharp. How do you create an image like this?
The answer is relatively simple. You use two different light sources. The rotating figures receive their light from the candles that are continuously burning. The blades are frozen through an indirect flash which only produces light for a fraction of a second and only affects the blades that are in the shade of the four candles.
An interesting side effect is that though the rotation of the blades the camera sensor also receives light from the candles creating a transparency effect on some of the blades.
Moving and fixed subject combined with a steady and a flash light source created this image!
Have fun with your pictures!
