About This photograph (6748) was shot at El Matador (restaurant) in Ballard on 3 May 2006.

The main subject is a candle shot luxagraphically. The minor lines are from other lights (incandescent) in the surrounding room.

No PS manipulations here. This is essentially as captured in camera.

I look forward to your questions, comments, and criticisms.

Sid - Essentially luxagraphia is a collection of photographic techniques which make specific use of motion. You can read my explanation here:

I tried searching for this online and all I found were your photos on various other websites. Lots aof very good ones I must say.

I am trying new rappresentations also in the diurnal hours, but the colors that they are obtained from the luxagrafia are unsurpassable.
ciao

Michael - Thanks. I do follow Jude's work. Great stuff.

I'm not sure if I understand your saying that they 'seem to involve a single color palette':

http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1233740

Is that not what you meant?

Hey James -

Golden indeed, I like the spinning motion, this has a really neat effect to make the flame swirl.

I think a lot of these light paintings are very minimalist, centered almost, with you quite at the helm designing the outcome. For the most part they seem to involve a single color pallette. For me this is more structured, and straightforward, but also less complex.

I was wondering if you had stopped by and seen jude's work.

http://www.usefilm.com/photographer/92572.html

I think she would be a kindred spirit, more colors and more motion, rather a chaotic lady, and posts some of the most poetic/cryptic messages...

Gayle - Thanks. The food at Matador is not very traditional mexicana. It's very much a NW angle on the whole thing. But delicious. Don't worry; I won't tell anyone about the djini.

Impressive result from the motioned camera on lights...the result looks like smoke from a cigarete! Also nice composition between the sharp lines at the background and the blur one at the main foreground.
Cheers
