In the woods, @faeryboots and I found part of an old boiler, furnace, some sort of heat exchanger, whatever it was it was RUSTY. Found in the woods, brought back to life with the art and SCIEAAANCE^froths at mouth^ of lightpainting...

Setting it up to serve as a model, behold our wood stove altar deep in the woods of Northern Ontario. Under the moonlight we stared at orion who smiled at the offering as he undid his belt and whipped it out and did one of those you know, helicopter things all like wheee-aah!

Anyways I don’t know where my mind went there, back to the pics

For the pictures, we used 2 flash, one of them had a red gel. Additionally mavic pro and a headlamp to paint from the sky, and as the headlamp flew and the mavic illuminated the scene, we wanded in the night with a rigged up confabulation from a piece of donated dollarama led strip and an old lonesome tent pole. but the confabulation button is hard to find in the darkness -- gotta work on the design a bit more .... alas you just have to work with what you have mostly but then one of the gel melted onto the front of my flash and I was like 😯 That's a gonna costa me money-ah! Those flashes are incredibly bright. Do not discharge into eyeballs - you'll burn your eye out kid!

swirled and whirled about flailed in the night one could say, swung about, hung out, you know… we went ‘streaking’ in the night with our light wands out and about swung wild and free in the Canadian night seeking pixelized representations of a scene depicted through time frozen into a series of hexadecimal codes, encoded into a raw format onto an SD card, a series of ones and zeros to bring you the light captured… straight into your photon receptors.

pasteurized pieces of pine needles, bark and branch percolating atop the unit waiting to be baptized in the underbelly – welcome my son to the machine

She’s a swirly girly I muttered to myself as Karen waved the wand, her style smooth and graceful in stark contrast to my stiff and rigid shaft yielding ability

I think I also had a red LED bicycle light we used in a few of the shots…

Eventually Karen got sick of the bugs and ran inside… I took a few more shots but at that point it was getting a bit redundant and time to call it a night anyways. I would have to return another time with more tools. But for her amazing beauteaous wand swinging she doth recieveth 25% of the post rewards for this one 😀

And with that I'm pretty spannered to the extreme... that was megaformat session XL... really got to devise a script to help port my WP posts into hive, would make life a lot easier. Yes I know there is Hivepress or Steempress or what have you but I didn't like their grubby little fingers getting into each and every post. Stealingses my rewardses. Which would be one thing if they gave some options to format posts different ways or did some updates(like throw me a frickin' bone here) but I never really saw any new features added so ditched that.

Anyways I'm glad to see that you made it this far. Congratulations, you're a champ and have a Sweet Day ✌️
