About the Shot
"Dragonflies #4"
NO PHOTOSHOP!
87 second exposure. To create this image two hand held LED flashlights with gels were used to hand paint the color on the foreground. The ambient light from the full moon rise for the background. Small single led light to create the flying insects the dragonflies are feeding on and a somewhat secret flash technique to capture the dragonflies all in one single exposure.
My name is Jason D. Page and I create my photographs using a technique known as “Light Painting”. In almost total darkness, I open the shutter of my camera for an extended period of time and use various light sources to create color and designs within the frame. Every light painting is unique and unrepeatable. To produce my images I use everything from ordinary household flashlights to chemical concoctions of nitrate and potassium chlorate to create explosions of light. There is NO PHOTO EDITING! All of my light painting images are created in real time and captured to the camera in one single photographic frame.
