Beginner V24 light wand

Donnie · 3 Jan 2016

I've really lost my photo mojo over the last year to 18 months and dug out the v24 I bought well over a year ago and never really used, as such this is my first practice shot in the back yard. Its not much but I have to start somewhere I guess :-/

Very nice almost spheric shape Paul!
Great pattern and colours.

Thanks Kodiak, Really need to get out and about and do some practice I think

I've just sold my V24 because of lack of use, this makes me wish I'd kept it.

I like it as said nice shapes and colours. :clap:

It looks like it could be a tad sharper to me. Love the use of the v24 but maybe focusing on a torch facing towards the camera before starting your drawing would really make the lines stand out and give them extra punch.

That is cool, inspired me to have a go at this sort of thing as my camera been sitting around a bit.

I focussed on the v24 itself in manual stuck in the ground then stood there picked it up and did the "orb" after pressing a remote shutter.
however I do realise I was nipping back and forth doing several shots and checking each exposure so I think over those shots probably did shift my position and hence focus

Something to remember though!

Just reminded me I have one of them I've not touched in years. Nice shot

awesome! I keep thinking about doing something themed around The Flash comic character and having the lights trails. Do you think the light wand can do this?

Donnie · 23 Jan 2016

no idea mate, id imagine it could complement such a shot but suspect you'd need other light tools too as the wand certainly wont be any good replicating the lightening in the flashes trail?

Can you tell me what a v24 is exactly?

A light wand. Specifically, RGB LEDs that shine through a light-catching perspex rod. Approx 3ft long, made 10yrs ago or so by LED Lenser but now discontinued & highly sought after. Possible to create similar effects with a home-built version.
