Artist's Comments

tonight, ~raumzeit and me went on a nightly photo session (using his camera). here's a first taste of how things turned out. more to come... :D

other than the border & logo there's absolutely no manip!

credits for the title and shooting go to ~raumzeit - thanks a lot man!

edit: even though it's quite entertaining to read people's guesses how this picture was done, i'm still gonna spoil the guessing fun by telling how:

the light is a LED head-mountable flashlight [link] (which has a cool blueish light compared to the warm yellowish light of a regular bulb flashlight - in a later deviation you're gonna see the difference).

as you can see below this description, exposure was quite long. this allowed me to move the light the way i did *and* walk out of the picture for the last few seconds of the exposure. my upper body was in motion most of the time (i held the flashlight in my hands), that's why it's translucent. my feet were staying still, that's why they seem rather solid.

plus long exposure does something to colors. if you've never done it, try - you'll be surprised (i sure was).

this is a great picture, the bright light really catches your eye and makes you wanna look at the actual thing :D
I love the translucent person and how the light wraps around them, and you can vaugely see the outline of the person, and the tree... I dunno why, but it seems like a nice, balanced background item, and is a nice touch... but that's cause I'm easily amused by something like that >.>;;
Anyway, awesome photo, :+fav: for sure :nod:
