The Diva in the dungeon. Part IV.
That special Sunday afternoon that turned into an incredibly fun night with Jane and her husband Alex, Chriss, and Anna. Here are some more shots from that trip. This time we have another look at the ladder that is in the center of the tank.
Dieser besondere Sonntagnachmittag, der mit Jane und ihrem Ehemann Alex, Chriss und Anna zu einem unglaublich lustigen Abend wurde. Hier sind noch ein paar Aufnahmen von dieser Reise. Diesmal werfen wir einen weiteren Blick auf die Leiter, die sich in der Mitte des Tanks befindet.
We created the main shot to extend the wonderful dress Jane was bringing for the shoot. Like always I did test the individual steps one by one.
Die Idee für das Foto war. dass wunderbare zu verlängern, das Jane für das Shooting mitbrachte. Wie immer habe ich die einzelnen Schritte nacheinander getestet und teile das mit euch hier.
What were the settings for the main shot?
| English | German |
|---|---|
| The first shot is a 140 seconds single exposure with the camera set to ISO 400. In order to get the cool angle, I used the LAOWA 12mm Zero D F2.8 lens. Totally worth it. | Die erste Aufnahme ist eine 140 Sekunden lange Einzelbelichtung bei der die Kamera auf ISO 400 eingestellt war. Um den coolen weiten Blickwinkel zu erhalten, habe ich das LAOWA 12mm Zero D F2.8 Objektiv verwendet. |
Like always I am happy to show you the individual steps on how we got to that single exposure Light Painting.
Wie immer freue ich mich, Euch die einzelnen Schritte zu zeigen, wie wir zu diesem Einzelbelichtungs-Lightpainting gekommen sind.
First lighting her on the staircase.
To do so I used a small Canon Camera flash with a small diffuser attached to it. Start Trigger and ask if she is in position, then flash.
Dazu habe ich eine kleine Canon-Camerablitz mit einem kleinen daran befestigten Diffusor verwendet. Dann löste ich die Kamera aus und fragte Jane ob sie in Position ist und dann Blitz.
Then see how much of the background I want to show. Maybe some more color as well? More shadows?
Hier dann mal der Hintergrund ausgeleuchtet, so wie ich mir das vorstelle. Vielleicht auch etwas mehr Farbe? Mehr Schatten?
It took me a while to decide that this is not a featured image. I find the silhouette and the shadow work for this one so nice it's almost worth an individual post. I thought I want to show you the entire process instead of splitting the post.
Es hat eine Weile gedauert, bis ich entschieden habe, dass dies kein ausgewähltes Bild ist. Ich finde die Silhouette und die Schattenarbeit bei diesem hier so schön, dass es fast einen eigenen Post wert wäre. Ich dachte, ich möchte Ihnen den gesamten Prozess zeigen, anstatt den Beitrag aufzuteilen.
Here again, is the result of the exercise. What do you think?
Hier dann nochmal das Resultat. Was denkt Ihr?
Keep scrolling for more impressions
So you don't have to go back to the previous post to see what and why and how we got there I share again some of the impressions from our trip.
Jane is a wonderful person and a great model from Berlin that has done some Light Painting and Urbex before. She contacted me when I posted about this underground tank, She said let's go and create together. Her Husband Alex was helping us with the logistics and sang a few notes in the tank to use the voluminous space for an audible pleasure along with the Lights. A friend of Jane made this red dress. The way the dress was made was perfect for what we had in mind. The idea we wanted to work on was a levitation image, with Jane hovering a meter off the ground.
Anna is also a super creative human (We worked on the wind tunnel Light Painting together) and she is always interested in new artsy projects. She brought her Didgeridoo and the guitar to create a soundscape with the Light Painting. The sound of the Didgeridoo in the tank was mindblowing.
Chriss is a creative Performer, a Dance teacher from Augsburg who also joined us out of curiosity. For this shot she becomes the court's fool sitting right next to the Diva
As I told you before the tank is located a bit south of Berlin, approximately 25min from where I live. This time I brought a Laser distometer with me and checked the size. It is about 12m high inside and 31meter in diameter. Just for your reference so you understand what are you looking at. For me, that was important to check if I need one rope or two.
Exploring the underground can be a sensual experience. So many things to find.
Ok enough for tonight! Let us get out of here!
