Hi Ho Hiveans, Another exciting week gone by with more Light Painting adventures at the weekend, but I'm continuing to post from the archive until I catch up.
Still looking at images taken in 2015, from my Flickr account. Another great subject matter is the plethora of Pre-historic sites scattering the UK, almost all of which are accessible 24hrs a day. Perfect for a Light Painting session. B & W. West Kennet Long Barrow (Pre-Historic Chambered Burial Mound)
May 2015
West Kennet Long Barrow is located in a field in Wiltshire UK just a short walk from the A4. One of the largest, most impressive and most accessible Neolithic chambered tombs in Britain. Built in around 3650 BC, it was used for a short time as a burial chamber, nearly 50 people being buried here before the chambers were blocked. Surrounded by farmland and many other Pre-historic sites in the near vicinity, like Avebury Stone Circle and Silbury Hill. Is always worth a visit and admission is free!
Outside the Chamber This trip out to West Kennet was the start of Light Painting trips further afield and away from what I would have considered as "local". Since then I have regularly travelled around the UK to visit locations and met-up with many other Light-Painters for nights of waving lights around. This shot also shows my early "Light Plants" that eventually evolved with different tools and learning new techniques.
Inside the Chamber
I Hope you have enjoyed my post, It is great going through these old shots.
