Info

Many issues ago the magazine ran a series of images using light by photographer Alan Griffiths. We wondered if Alan’s work would inspire others to have a go at something new. Imagine my surprise when this image appeared. I forgot to ask Sarah if she really was inspired by Alan’s images to try this out, but we can hope. This image was created using the technique of Light Spinning, in this instance using a home made jig from a bike wheel . Light is not the only way in which we can experiment with imagery. Another of Sarah’s new toys is a ‘drip kit’. You can make your own in various ways, there are probably as many ways as people trying them out, but there are a few things that apply with equal importance to every method. The first of these is timing, you can get a remote release that can be programmed to fire the shutter on detection of movement, sound, and even light, the hard way is manually using hand eye co-ordination. This is the same method I use when trying to photograph birds flying to and from a feeder, I miss more times than I like to admit, but the principle is the same and you do get better with practice. The second point to be aware of is the subject matter, for example, some liquids react better than others, try to get these images using treacle and the result would be very different. Finally, and probably most important, is the lighting and the exposure used. Stronger lighting allows for a higher ISO and thus a faster shutter speed to freeze the motion. This is a question of balance between the two. It is great to see members of the Society and the Magazine trying new ideas, inspiration can be gained from anywhere and everywhere if we are willing to look for it.
