Night Owl


This started as a drawing with light warming up exercise, with no preconceived subject idea. It did not take long before I saw the resemblance to the owl emerge, so I just added the beak to it. It is wise to stay flexible, and have an open mind to the possibilities. Nikon D200 with 18-70 Nikkor Lens.

Oraculum


There is always the element of surprise when creating a drawing or painting with lights, which adds to the excitement. I normally have the idea for a new piece visualized before I start, but the outcome tends to be different because new possibilities emerge as the image grows. Nikon D2x with 18-70mm lens.

Neon Jellyfish.


Although I call this image "Neon Jellyfish", I did not create it with neon lighting. Just household light bulbs and LED flashlights, Nikon D2x camera with 18-70mm Nikkor lens, and some postproduction in Photoshop, which included 8 layers.

Bugaboo.


Sometimes things seem to create themselves. There was no original intention to create this Dustmite looking creature, but as I kept experimenting, it appeared. The light was a 40 watt household bulb, Nikon D2x camera with 18-70mm Nikkor lens. Some post production with Photoshop.
