Canon EOS 70D, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens @ 70mm, 10 seconds @ f/8.0, ISO 800.

This week we’re doing a portrait spin on light painting.

My main issue with these portrait challenges is finding a new model each month. Thankfully, my father-in-law (Rob) came to stay with us last night (free motel), so I made him come out and do some light painting. The one I’ve picked is him ``drawing’‘ a rabbit out of a hat, much like a magician would. To shoot this, I used my pocket wizards as a trigger (which means I had to use the 70D), and had Melissa manually fire a flash once I yelled out it was time to go. Rob then had whatever remained in the 10 seconds to try and draw his rabbit while keeping the hat/pot of gold as still as possible. After a few shots like this, he played with some leftover sparklers from the light Esther on fire photoshoot. I’ve included a sparkler image below.
