This image was taken at the feed mill that I had photographed and featured on my blog a few days ago. I met Brad the owner, and he graciously allowed both myself and fellow photographer Larry the chance to look around inside. After the mill shut down for the day, we broke out our gear and we each selected an area to light paint. Admittedly it has been a while since I gave this technique a try, so I struggled a bit as I worked to light the room with my spotlight. The mill is a real labyrinth of metal and wood, and left me wondering how such a place is designed. The inside also included numerous cats roaming about, which surprised me with all the machines at work, but after I had witnessed a cat catch a mouse three feet in front of me, it all became clear very quickly. The area I chose included the old scale with the two feed bags on it, along with another scale facing the opposite direction with the number 122 on it. The blue light is coming from window light that was shining in at dusk. We usually work in the dark, but time constraints had us shooting earlier.

Some day I hope to be as good as you and Larry. Very Very Nice!!
an incredible place very well portrayed. well done š
Thanks Alessandro.
Nice one….I still haven’t tried ‘light painting’…….I really REALLY must….I always really enjoy your ‘painted’ shots.
Thanks Stuart All you need is a decent light of some sort, a dark room and if you have a laptop to fire your camera,that avoids camera movement.I use nikon camera control pro,which is under 200 bucks and allows you to set everything on camera.
Oh NO!!! Now I need more new toys…..!!

I got a 400 dollar laptop just for this, and it makes a huge difference when shooting.
Stop!!! No More!!!!
Next thing you’ll be telling my my Instamatic isn’t up to the job….
Nice work. I think I see that mouse on top of the perfectly lit bags. Definitely want to go back there.
I actually had half the cat somewhat still in my one shot,but the back half looked like a ghost.I should of flashed him to include him but I never thought about it.
Love this shot.
Thank you. it took an hour plus to do.
