I'm a quarry addict, no doubt! :)
I can't remember the first time I visited a quarry but quarries were always around : there's one in my hometown and in the towns beside too.
I had no particular interest for it...until I started lightpainting. It's almost the perfect location to do it : total darkness, constant cool temperature, protection from wind/rain/snow, very nice stone, quietness... Especially when you're a rookie :) I discovered this world, step by step, with friends and I fell in love with limestone and achievements of quarrymen.
I do many other things in LP but this side has a special place. This is my "out of time" thing in the week, when I leave everything in my mind outside, I go deep beneath the surface and I really enjoy the present moment. It's my own way to pull the plug or something like that. This is a really important component of my creative process.
This is a fraction of what I made last night :
Lightpainting created in real time, captured to the camera in one single photographic frame.
No layers /no Photoshop / no editing exept minor adjustments (lens correction profite, WB, contrast (+12)) and addition of my logo.
Gear : Canon EOS 6D MkII body + Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM lens @16mm & f8 + Canon RC-E6 IR remote + Zomei carbon tripod.
