Back to Paris part 6 : le Pont Rouge (Lightpainting on Hive)

Hi everyone,

I spent an entire week in Paris on January. It was time to visit friends & family and go back to locations I like.

As I arrived at the blue hour, I decided to take time to do a couple of pictures outside before joining the team and go beneath the surface for the first time of my trip. As you can see, the weather was so clean!

This location is very famous in Paris. This is the Pont Rouge. It is part of a gigantic artwork called the Axe Majeur, concepted by the israelian sculptor Dani Karavan. I really love that bridge and I try to do a LP session here as often as I can.

For that picture, I combined a kinetic work with ambient lighting to draw my "background" then I used a couple of light tools to draw an abstract light-calligraphy.

WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING?
Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing.
