The Falling Light

I really haven't been shooting anything lately - I've been really busy with studies and that least very little time for anything else. Hopefully it'll change during my summer vacations.

In the mean time here is one of the images from on my favourite shoots this year.
I shared the final image a while back and this was when I was trying different things.

Encompass

Recently I tried to do a fine art/still life shoot with a few lights, a candle, some lace and a glass.

I kept adding stuff to it and this is from the second stage. I think there were four stages to the shoot and I shared the fourth stage a while back.

The Light Shines On

If you're following me on Instagram you would have seen my BTS (Behind The Scenes) shot I posted yesterday. I also promised to upload the final version and so here it is.

It was fun doing this. I started off with just the fairy lights and then added the blue lights and finally the fire. I just couldn't stop once I'd started trying new stuff because it was so much fun. I had to stop when my mom smelt the smoke in my room.

Anyway this is a single image with minor adjustments in Lightroom.

Candle Horns

Recently I wanted to do something different because sunsets were getting a little monotonous so I grabbed some candles and LEDs and a camera (obviously) and started shooting.

I'd done it once before with the SX30 IS but never with the SX50 HS. Turns out that not being able to control the ISO for slow shutter speeds was a problem but not a very big one.

It was a little difficult and took hours to get one shot but it was definitely worth it.
