Octo-Selfie

This is a playground climbing apparatus near my house that I thought would look cool in a camera rotation. I climbed the apparatus, placed the camera looking up and had a remotely triggered flash on the ground. I still had to climb down to rotate the camera 8 times. First I did four rotations with red gel and then four with blue to avoid changing gels on every rotation. My faces in the middle are rather dark but I liked how the cords in this apparatus resembled light streaks so common in light painting.

And here is another apparatus but without me in it and slightly different colors.

I'm also on Instagram - Facebook - Flickr - Vimeo - Twitter
