monolith

Canon EOS 5D + Canon EF 85mm f/1.8
LED flashlight
35 seconds - f/13 - ISO 50

Our blue iPod Mini illuminated by a LED flashlight, afterwards it reminded me of a more rounded version of the monolith in Kubrick/Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odissey.

I bought my first pair of Redwing boots back in 1993 when I lived in the US.  This is part of my third pair since then, every time I go back to visit my AFS host family I buy a new ones to replace the previous (and very worn) pair.  This is an example on how with a single LED flashlight and a long exposure you can emulate a very complex studio lightning setup.

Another example of lighting a scene with just a LED flashlight, this one ended up with a more light painted look.

single LED reading lamp
35 seconds - f/10 - ISO 100

In trying to imagine different things that would look nice light painted, I came across the idea of using a mirror.  Everything in this scene has been lighted with a small reading LED lamp.  I liked the effect of the light trails being only visible in the mirror.

I had lots of fun with this assignment.  Next time we do it I would like to try my hand at bigger setups!
