"Light Painting" which photographs the locus of the real light of real life rather than CG

From the appearance of Piexlstick which raised the light painting to a new dimension, I have continued to make new works from the next one with a usage method beyond the speculation of the developerYamazaki MegumizuWork "Light Painting" collection of works "Light Painting" was released on Amazon Kindle.

The following are some of them.





What on earth are these pictures? I will approach that mystery.

◆ What is the difference with normal light painting?

Regular light painting is what you take as a long-time exposure, such as swinging a torch, spinning round fireworks, wielding the light. Since these are one-dimensional, basically "monochromatic point light sources", they are merely "lines" of light.

What is most familiar and easy to understand is that car headlights run all the way on highways. Everyone knows best.

If it is a bit more stuffy, it's a rainbow, stripes or polka dots, and then you are using the image taken with the photo as it is. Once at GIGAZINEPixelstickThe following image when reviewing is exactly that.

On the other handYamazaki MegumizuThere is a really big gap between the work collection "Light Painting" of the work and the past light painting.

Pictures of tremendous quality gather from all over the worldA number of works like the following which gained a high reputation at "500 px"It is easy to understand.

It is a "light trajectory" that moves the image as a light source by inserting a pattern or image independently created on the light itself.

Therefore, the originality is orders of magnitude higher.

Also, it is made by swinging appropriately and not being made by accidentality, but by imaging the "light trajectory" as intended by the artist himself and shooting it.

It is the reason why you feel the perfection level of the upper level much more than just looking at ordinary light painting works.

It is too complete, at first glance it will look like "CG", but as you can see, it is all "live action".

Considering that it is "live-action picture", it is quite different from the trajectory of light as a one-dimensional point light source, it should be able to understand the beauty by the trajectory of the secondary plane light source intuitively is.

And, it is the "Light Painting" work collection of "Light trajectory" this time, packing about 230 works, which is more than 4 times as many as about 50 works published at 500px.
