KenElevenShadows Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 District 34 ~~~~~ The Midwestern night falls on this one-room limestone schoolhouse, built to last in 1896 in rural Kansas. The first teacher was paid $40 per month. I'm happy to say that teachers make a little bit more than that now. She taught eight French families ranging from five to nineteen years of age. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld flashlight capable of producing different colors and illuminated the scene. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting". Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images. The streaks in the sky are the apparent movement of the stars during the long exposure of 18 minutes. ~~~~~ For photos, books, workshops and more ~~~~~ (Plate 0619) Pentax K-1/28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. October 2023.

Lou Gehrig Charles Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Awesome! I'm so glad you posted these; I had seen a few of Tim's but they were on Facebook and I am unable to leave comments there. This must've been the full moon where we were supposed to be in Georgia. You shot this one at the right time. Dig that texture on the front of the building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been posting them on Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, and elsewhere, so I don't know if you are on any of those, but you can see my posts regularly there.
