Hello,
As I live close to the ocean, I have instant access to a lot of beautiful islands on the atlantic coast. A friend of mine has a holiday mansion on one of them and we have the habit to meet there a couple of times a year to spend good time together and celebrate.
As May 1st is a day-off in France (National Labor Day), I drove my way to Oleron Island. As we found many abandoned buildings there in January, we took a couple of hours to do a lightpainting session in one of them.
At first, my girfriend stood still as I wanted do to a couple of pictures using her silhouette and my fav color combo :
Then, I put my tripod outside the building and I worked this the stairset :
I had a sore knee so walking in this kind of environnement was a bit tricky but it was worthy 😎

WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING?
Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing.
