All of these images were totally created in-camera (no Photoshop involved).
Here are some examples shot outside our studio at night. Working with The Pixel Stick is a collaborative process. There is a temptation to overcook (do too much) a light painting. This means Pixelstick will open light painting from single exposure trends.
#PIXELSTICK IMAGES SERIES#
Pixelstick displays images one line of pixels at a time and can increment through a series of images over multiple exposures on your camera. With practice, you’ll find the strongest scenes use a more minimalist approach. Pixelstick by Bitbanger is an image reader that projects small images through a series of LED lights arranged in a straight line. A simple rotation of the pixelstick or light saber is often all that’s needed.
#PIXELSTICK IMAGES MANUAL#
It can display all sorts of cool patterns and effects, plus you can also load images on an SD card (in Windows BMP format, 200 pixels in height) and the stick can “paint” the image as the user sweeps the Pixelstick across the air. PIXELSTICK BMP BIRD IMAGES ON A BLACK BACKGROUND MANUAL The pixelstick is really good for abstract work. The stick is a little over 6 feet long and has a strip of 200 LEDs that are controlled by a microprocessor that can generate over 16 million different colors at each location. Once this is done the file needs to be flipped counter clockwise and saved as a BMP file. The Pixelstick is a unique tool for light painting - creating two-dimensional images in space which are revealed in long-exposure photographs - like the ones here - drawn from historic photographs of the church, the prints of William Morris, the history of computing, and drawings of the stained glass windows created by local schoolchildren.
Your image needs to be sized to 200 pixels high, with the length being as long as you desire. That image can be anything you choose, so you can light paint the Mona Lisa just as easily as a picture of your dog. Alternatively, you could design and edit your image with Photoshop. I was very excited with the possibilities of creating photographic images and thought. Pixelstick has a drag and drop service on their website where you can do this easily. The Pixelstick has a two-piece design which allows the wand to span a whopping 73 inches in length, giving you the ability to light-paint a little over six feet in one go. This is a nifty device that is used in light painting. I purchased a PixelStick earlier in the year for a university project. I hosted a class the other night demonstrating the use of a PixelStick!
