A three-hour dead-of-night woodland adventure! How cool izzat?
Plus wet and slippery as well as dark, plus the ever-present possibility of rabid wolverines, so it was a genuinely dangerous adventure! Probably more from the wet slippery rocks than the chance of wolverines.
The results were worth the effort! Those pics look soooo cooool! I particularly like the one where Neytiri and Jake are walking up the slope. The posing is wonderfully natural and the light is just right!
What is your usual e
osure length for a light painting pic? Or do you set the camera to aperture priority and "paint" until the shutter clicks? The eosures must be fairly long for the flowing water to appear so misty.
So you lugged quite a bit of gear down in to the gully, huh, in addition to the figures? Could you carry it all in one trip, or was it multiple treks to and from the car?
I'm genuinely impressed that you "went for it" even though the weather took a turn toward the dismal, culminating in rain. That's dedication to the craft, and you achieved some impressive images as a result.
And, I gather, had some fun in the process!
