Hi, Thanks for sharing my timelapse! It took a few months to shoot. The animations are all produced in 'real space' using a Pixelstick. This is a 2m long array of LED lights that allow you to paint an image in the air by walking through the long exposure scene.…

Hyperfocus – a new hi res night-time-lapse video by Elton McAleer –

That's so beautiful! And I can't begin to imagine how the light painting was done.

Here's another Lux photo – of the nZwarm exhibit in the foreground – and this time I've managed to splice a 3D render onto it.

guess where these are taken.

bottom one might be art in the ark, or the french thing in the domain – though who knows, I guess you can wear a light suit anywhere : )

The Wellington Lux light show has just wrapped up, and I got a few gems. Especially gems of the video captured kind.

This is one area where us iPhone chancers can’t really play. But see if you can guess where these are taken.

Not darkening, I'd do that afterwards. You could always use an optical graduated filter. Many people do "light painting" with a torch to highlight something, I haven't really used this method yet. Modern digital seems better suited than film for long exposures /low light photography as there is really good…

I burn in the footpath...
do you do any 'burning in' of objects in situ on long exposures?

Really good to see you there Jackson. My basic recipe that gave me better results was to use a tripod, shoot raw, then use adobe camera raw's tools to firstly: make the white balance much bluer as sodium street lights are orange. also do graduated exposure adjustments. For example, I…

Great to meet you last night Angus, and pleasing to see the little Art Ache show was well attended. Also managed to meet Amy, so will look at doing one myself at some stage.

Excited to find out about The Print Room too.

Took a couple of night shots while…

Hi Sacha, thank you, please contact me and I can provide a print of your choosing, there are various paper options, I will open up some of my other non night time material if you would like to look through the rest of my portfolio.

Great post, Angus, and there's many more cool and crisp night visions on your website. Streetlights and digital imaging seem to go well together.

Gorgeous. When there's so little of it, you really become conscious photography is all about the quality of the light.

Sacha

If nobody answers, I can't really play my part tonight, can I.
Will be in touch directly instead.

There will be work for sale, so you may want to bring cash.
Roughly how much, for us noobs?

Thanks Angus, love a digital night and it's ability to warp what we are seeing.
