Lightpainting as medication (part 2) - Lightpainting on Hive

Hi,

I'm struggling into life atm, facing injuries, unemployment without any income and depression.

Photography has always been the beacon in the dark so I began doing lightpainting again starting from last night. I'll try to do it as often as possible during the following weeks as I'm convinced it will help me to recover and smile again.

For my 2nd session, I met a friend of mine. I visited a very nice park the day before and I had tons of ideas including camera rotation and backlighting. We headed to this location and we spent about 3 hours here, enjoying the calm of nature. Here are some of our results of the night :

157s 23mm f/6.3 100 ISO

255s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO

Lightpainting created in real time, captured to the camera in one single photographic frame. SOOC No layers /no Photoshop / no editing except minor adjustments (lens correction profite, WB, contrast (+12)) and addition of my logo.

**WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING?** Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing. **Single exposure Light Art Photography /nolayer /notricks /nophotoshop**
