Hey Hive!

Last thursday, I drove to La Turballe to meet Mathilde after my work day. She's a local pole dancer and you'll see the pictures of our latest IR sessions here during the following weeks. 

During the first lightpainting session, I showed Mathilde the basics of the discpipline. That time, we went a little bit further as she explored camera rotation by herself. When she took a break, I showed her how to use elements of the surroundings, including sky, clouds, puddles, sand...
I made a couple of photos close to the ocean, here's the first of the serie I made that night :

<center>**WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING?**</center>
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.
