Joined good friends Gerry and Suren for a very late (got home at 1:30AM the next morning much to the wife’s disgust :)) light painting session at Sculpture By the Sea.

These are the last four of the six different sculptures we included in our compositions.

Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.

For this one we’ve used red and green lasers to paint and scribble within the massive glass orb (a sculpture titled “Horizon”) with the light refracting and reflecting everywhere creating this crackled lighting effect whilst white and red light was used at a very low angle from the sides to paint and create the shadows on the ground.

Here Gerry has done some fantastic work with the red and blue EL wires to create the lava flow of whispy light (back breaking work believe me!) and I had the relatively simple task of walking through the scene and quickly lighting each tent with orange LED light. Lighting of the clouds in the sky courtesy again of the city light pollution :). I was really pleased with how this one turned out and it’s definitely one of my favourites from the night

Gerry wanted to do something with these fantastic infinity stairs before we left for the night and I wanted to give my orb tool a spin so…
