Light Painting

grilled pepper and onion

SS 1/60, f3.2, ISO 400

This image was inspired by Herald Ross. I encourage you to visit Herald’s website/blog. His work is very inspiring and beautiful. Herald is a light painter and creates magnificent photographs by using a special technique with light diffusers that he makes and sells. I, unfortunately have not had the opportunity to attend one of Herald’s workshops, but have had the privilege of seeing some of his students’ work on his blog. I was so inspired by Herald’s work and the work of his students that I purchased one of the flashlights Herald recommended in a recent blog post, in addition to the diffuser kit that Herald makes and sells on Etsy.

The photograph above was created using my new tools. The subjects in the image are from my husbands lunch that was so beautifully presented and fabulously delicious at Quinoa.

Below are two additional photographs – flowers of course – that I took a couple of weeks ago using the light painting tools mentioned above. I still have much work to do to master this technique, but I will be enjoying every minute of it.
