One of the stones light up at night

Good picture, is that light exposed on the stone or something on it?	Posted by bladup 1st August 2012ce

I was hoping to light up each stone in the circle for a wide shot under the stars. Alas things didn't work out quite as planned. But I did take this one out of frustration. It's just a Poundshop 3LED light positioned out of sight of the camera pointing at the stone. Looks ethereal eh? I'll go back one day soon and hopefully achieve the shot I hoped to capture :)	Posted by terrybnd 1st August 2012ce
Yes it looks great, i thought that's what you had done, i was just making sure, what you say about the wide shot and all the stones lit up is something i've thought would look brilliant for a long time [i'm no photographer], i look forward to seeing it one day.	Posted by bladup 2nd August 2012ce
Terry, I've pondered lighting each stone for night-time pictures as well and there seem to be three options - 1. A set of remotely triggered flash units. If you have a look on here for images by CianMcLiam (Ken Williams) he's done some stunning pictures using several flash units. I thought about using torches for night-time time lapse but figured they would probably dim over the course of the shooting. 2. Long exposure and manually triggered flash gun. I used this method to get a shot of Nine Stones Close, one picture, one flash gun, four flashes and some running around in the dark. 3. Composite image. In this case take a series of images from the same spot but light each stone individually then edit together later into a single image. It was the only way to do my Devil's Arrows picture due to the distance between the stones.	Posted by Chris Collyer 2nd August 2012ce
@Chris Collyer Agree on your methods but I'm very much a video man you see. And none of that would work. Obviously, doing pics at night is different but what I found by experimentation is none of those work really - they look a bit fake unless it's obvious you're lighting just one stone. Call it psychology lol I found it's best to light the whole sight up. Alas, I aint prepared to lug about such kit. But I've found when it's a full moon and the skies are clear - then it's job done! You only need f4.5 and ISO 800 and you're flying. I'll have a look at Ken's pics - thanks! :) I'm pretty new to all this myself so will be interesting to see	Posted by terrybnd 2nd August 2012ce
