Epic Day Out – Part 4 – Light Painting the Tunnel…

by on May.20, 2013, under Life, Photography

Joined three friends for an epic day of photography. Our gourmet feast of photographic delights included a 3:30AM start, a sunrise seascape session, a day shooting at an air show, a sunset seascape session, a light painting session in an abandoned railway tunnel and a post midnight finish.

In part four we visit the Sydney suburb of Helensburgh for an evening of light painting in an abandoned railway tunnel.

What was awesome and completely unexpected when we arrived were these glow worms on the roof of the tunnel. We wandered into the tunnel for a few hundred metres before water blocked our way but the glow worms in their millions covered the roof all the way in.

Natures lightpainters in all their glory…

My turn to spin some steel wool to finish off the night – spinning an orb this time with the steel wool, a little coloured light painting and a very long exposure to expose for our little glowing friends on the ceiling of the tunnel
