bud in the light

Perhaps my most ambitious light painting experiment so far… this is an HDR sandwich of images each with different areas and intensities of light fill along with other ambient only shots, in an attempt to define & isolate details whilst retaining the surreal hues you get from ‘reciprocacy failure’.
This one was was lit with a hand held torch (called a flashlight in North America).
“Polar Torch Bears use their torchlight noses to not only help them hunt, but to look for underwater treasure left by the sunken ships.” For one assignment, everyone had to write one object and one animal and our lecturer jumbled it all up, and I got “polar bear” and “torchlight”. We’re supposed to create a creature fused with those objects and also create some sort of story for them and illustrate them in a children’s storybook manner as an example. I was thinking of having it use its nose to hunt for seals, and then when I was talking to a friend on the phone, he had a sudden stroke of genius and suggested that they’d hunt for treasure too. :D A lot of ‘accidents’ happened while doing this, but they surely created very interesting effects for the water!

“Well I think it’s gonna be one of those nights, R.Whites…” This [enormous, rather heavy looking] fridge is practically the only thing not looted from the kitchens of the Sergeant’s Mess, I wonder why..?!! For this shot I propped up the Nightsearcher inside to get raking shadows through the shelves.
I have just …
I have just returned from a weekend meditation retreat. It was largely non-denominational but had a slight Christian bias. Nothing remarkable happened except for at the end. Glancing through a book I came upon the image above and was overwhelmed. The awful humanity of the scene entrapped me as if I was there. Bent beneath the body, the man carrying Jesus must be covered in his blood. His delicacy and his strength resonates. Their love for the man who has died is clear. And it became for me, in that moment, our love. And Jesus could have been my father, your brother, another’s child. And yet, something even a bit more. I see in that moment these men and women were bearing the Divinity. Not just something outside of themselves but were carrying their own Divinity. They held God in their hands. As indeed do we. With all its terribly and glorious weight. What we call to choose this Divinity is a matter of smaller importance.
I used a torch on a long exposure to create this abstract effect.
I’d seen the way the streetlight shone behind the tree, and decided to photograph it with a long (30sec) exposure. First attempts left the right-hand side of the picture quite dark, so I tried walking up and down the road with a torch during the exposure. I was quite happy with the result
