Gundam and Lightsaber effect
Tue 2009/09/01 16:19 JST
Last night I made it to make purple color Lightsaber, using RGB led star. I also found some interesting camera tutorial for night photo shoots, and decided to try it by my self.
I spin the Lightsaber with slow shutter setting, and this is the result.
Can you see my ghost?
First spin.
Gundam saw the purple Lightsaber but cannot see who is the spinner
Gundam decided to act like Son Goku
Other pics in my blog
lol i love the last one
^_^
Interesting effects! ^^
How do you spin the light saber? Is there any string attached?
Using my arms of course :D
Just imagine Jedi or Sith practicing their Lightsaber skill :)
Cool Man, btw.. how to avoid your person to be not in the picture??
When using slow shutter mode, if you keep moving during the shutter window opened, your still-image will hard to captured by the camera sensor. Faster you move, harder to captured, especially for non light source object (human), but since Lightsaber is a light source, the camera sensor will be able to capture the light even when I spin it very fast.
1 word. AWESOME! the first pic just reminds me of those ghostly movies :D do you mean you're running while swinging the lightsaber around when the final picture is captured?
Thanks :)
No, I don't have to run at all. I stay still when spinning the lightsaber.
What you only need to do is make a movement. At the last picture, I standing 5 cm behind God Gundam and spin the saber without moving away from that location. And the movement not that fast, just regular speed of lightsaber spin action.
Even slow movement like people walking on street will make a ghost effect if you use slow shutter mode :)
Now that you explained about it, I noticed ghostly feet beneath the saber effects. ^^;
I really, really like the first image. It's like you're an invisible light, and you got a bit of water on you, which the light behind you is reflecting off.
Thanks, the first image is a coincident shot XD
I don't know if I can created the same effect again, hahaha...
Nice edit.
This is pure camera result. Not editing at all (unless you count the nekoroid.com watermark XD)
Last part is awesome, you're showing your creative side recently :D Wish the streets were that empty here.. So that I could do photoshoots and don't get the weird looks XD
Thanks, hehehe...
Just pretend they don't exist. Or, ask for their participation in the photo shoot :D
wow that's nice! also could be very useful when you are playing kembang api
Yes, firework is the good alternative :D
the last picture is AWESOME..:D
I love slow shutter effects! Great purple shade you've got there, too - looks quite authentic.
Spirit bomb!!!! Hahaha awesome lightsaber effect, it looks so real :D You sure you aren't a jedi? >______>
god gundam fits that pose very well^^
How does it light up?
