Upside down, back to front and losing track which way is up!

            Tim G and I have been lightpainting together for just over 10 years. One of the things that got us working together quite successfully was the experimental side of lightpainting. We were both relative novices at the craft and over the years, we've figured out how stuff is done between us.

Between us we used to marvel at others' lightpainting images and wonder how it was done. It was fun to figure out how and maybe add our own twist. I like to think that both Tim and I have developed distinct styles born out of this experimentation.

So when Tim and I get together, it's always a good night. This is an idea I've had in mind but it wasn't quite working. It takes another lightpainting brain to help realise the shot even if it's just lowering the tripod to make it work!

I'm not going to reveal how this was done. It's up to the viewer to decide how. But one thing I keep having to remind people is that this is shot in one photographic exposure and is not Photoshopped or even the result of generative AI! Just say no to AI!!!
