Monomaniac 30 - monochromatic circuits
Continuing my black and white series, this is a collection of lightpainting shots converted to monochrome and look all the better for it!

This was shot 'in the field' rather than my kitchen.  I lugged a few flash stands and a couple of tripods half a mile to our favourite lime kiln and set up the circuit board on one of the stands.  I lined up the chip in the middle and fired a test shot.  In this case, we didn't rehearse the 2nd part of the shot and just 'went for it'  Rather conveniently @fadetoblack's silhouette fits nicely in the chip!

This is another tripod and lens swap shot where I have zoomed out during the exposure with a continuous light behind the board:

I'm a sucker for kinetic photography and the ball of light here is an Ikea Gamsebo bulb set up on a flash stand in my kitchen.  To get the motion first you expose the bulb briefly in a static position and being careful to avoid jerky movements the tripod is then panned slowly to make a light trail:

And this was a more recent shot where I've used an iPad image of a skull and moved the tripod head to make the light trail:

All of the above images were shot in one photographic exposure and are not Photoshop creations apart from the obvious conversion to mono....

**About me:**
I usually specialise in shooting lightpainting images but occasionally dabble in urbex and artistic model photography. I'm always on the lookout for someone to collaborate with; please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to create art.

Thanks pal, I'm toying with the idea of a selective colour shot with mono and colour mixed together...
