Wreck of the HQMS Gayundah 


at Woody Point.

An attempt at light painting.

Only two minor flaws with badly positioned flash units. I probably should have gone for a much longer exposure to try to get some colour in the sky, but at 7 minutes I figured the noise was going to be getting up there.

This was my first proper light-painting expedition.

I've added a note on what I consider flaws in the process.

CruisAir replies:
Oh now I know what you mean by visible flash... I thought that was an intended effect, 'cause I like it and think it's not a flaw.

Interesting, I've had quite a few people tell me here and elsewhere that they like the flash starburst.

I used to have one of those, but the lead acid battery inside is dead now. I really should get another one, they're very handy.

I've never tried it, but I have seen some images on that site that are pretty impressive. It looks like you have some very interesting locations to try it out.

I love it - and it was exactly that, what you call a flaw, the flash star that caught my eye :D

Wonderful!

David de Groot replies:
:) Thanks Nicole. I still class it as a flaw, but hey, if other people like it, that's a bonus.

Very good job you did here... And I say as above, I kinda like the star.. :o)

David de Groot replies:
Thanks :) I think the star might work if it wasn't where it is, for instance, if it appeared to be in the sky.

good job David, i didn't know that wreck is still there, I thought by now they would have dispose of it. .

David de Groot replies:
I'm guessing this is here until it rusts away completely.

Thanks, I now have a much more powerful light source to play with, so I think I could do a bit better next time.
