Tree of Life - Light Painting in Western Australia

in #ntopaz5 years ago (edited)

I really have a thing for trees. Here is one of my favourits. This Boab tree I got this one in the middle of nowhere in Western Australia.

On of the hotest nights i ever spent Light Painting. 39.5° C 2AM - impossible to sleep full on sweaty sleeping on the car in the middle of f-ing nowhere. Anyhow the photo was totally worth it. This Boab Tree was so impressive and also noisy. What you cant see nor hear are all the frogs that were sitting in that tree. So cool.

What i did here is actually really simple. Its a 40sec. exposure and i run with my colored flash lights towards the tree and shine at the ground first then the tree second. If you look closely you can also see my feet. I think it adds some organic texture and makes it more real than just some photoshopped effect. So both photos have not been editied in photoshop. Both are single exposures no layers or composites. All i did here is some soft edit in Lightroom to get out the Milkyway. Which was actually really simple, because there was pretty much no light polution in the wild wild Western Australia. ISO 3200 also helps ;-)

FYI > The huge bright spot next to the tree is not the moon. That is Saturn!

Magical and oh so beautiful an image @gunnarheilmann.

That Boab is absolutely amazing ~ Would have been wonderful to have recorded the sounds of that night.

And the Milkyway and Saturn ~ Stunning ~ Only in Western Australia could you ever have such an experience. You were so privileged to have been granted it. Resteemed.

Love the story about the frogs. One of the only reason I sometimes like to make a little video recording is to let people hear what can't be showed :-)
