Renegade - Hand Lightpainting

Happy Saturday everyone and I hope life is good.

I have a slight obsession when it comes to hands and lightpainting and they are by far my favourite subject to photograph. I think you can learn a lot from a person by their hands, they are so full of character and I feel they make for compelling photographs.

Here's a description below for the shot above and at the end I'll post a few more hand based shots I'm particularly fond of. I hope you enjoy.

PCB framed in the kitchen by tripod 1. I draw around the chip with a dry wipe marker on the cam screen to make it easier to frame the other element.

Tripod 2 in the front room with a piece of card with a square hole cut in, between the camera and the diffuser. Lined up with the square I drew earlier with a dry wipe marker on the camera screen.

Macro tubes on the Pentax 28mm and lit the pcb in red and blue. Lens cap on, macro tubes off and seated the Pentax back on the camera.

Swap to tripod 2, remove lens cap and illuminate my hand behind the diffuser using the www.lightpaintingbrushes.com black fibers gelled orange powered by the amazing Ryus Lightworks torch.

Raw conversion in Lightroom with minimal tweaks.

Shot during a single long exposure.

As promised here are a few more hand shots, all lightpaintings using various tools and techniques.

As always if you have any question about the shots above on tools or techniques used feel free to drop me a line and I can go into more detail.
