Shoot 8 - Light Drawing Location 2 - Work diary

This shoot links back to shoot 6 in which I tried light drawing but on location, for this shoot I tried the same thing but at night time so it was darker and I used sparklers instead of torches.  It didn't work out overly well and did kinda turn out just looking like a mess as I did not get that much time to shoot because the sparklers were really old and only about half of them actually worked properly.

 This photo looks really good and is quite interesting as with the sparklers not only do you get the light trails but there is also trails from the sparks coming off of them.  Although this photo is slightly primitive when compared to those from my last shoot as none of the surrounding area is visible it is still quite effective and looks good.

I really like this as there are ghostly images of both me and my friends, which were helping me, throughout the frame with the light trails both in front and behind us with a light spot on the ground making the leaves visible.

To progress from this I could try using the flash of my camera using a first curtain flash so that the background and things are visible with the light trails overlapping similar to those from the previous shoot, I think that if I was to do this in a forest with the light trails weaving in and out of the trees that this would look really good.
