![]() You still need a slow shutter speed to create these photographs and once you have moved the pixel stick along the photograph you end up with an incredible, almost hologram look on the photograph. Then after you have placed the photograph onto the pixel stick, you then slowly move the pixel stick in front of the camera in a straight horizontal line across the camera’s view point. This is done using a USB stick and importing images from your USB stick and placing them into the pixel stick. A pixel stick not only creates these incredible soft yet solid colourful light trails but they can also display photographs that you have taken or created. The difference between using just a normal, ordinary light to create light trails and using a pixel stick to create light trails is the detailed and smooth way in which a pixel stick is able to draw. Many people who have done light trials often enjoy the experience of being able to draw and create these beautiful patterns and lines using only a light and holding in front of a camera. A pixel stick can come in many different sizes but often they are around 4 foot and they are thin with a handle and on the stick there is a long trail of LED lights (usually have around 189 LED lights in one pixel stick) that goes all the way down the stick. The pixel stick is a very creative and useful piece of equipment that is used by many photographers that do light trails to give the lights intense colour and vibrancy within the photograph. I will be mainly using the use of Photorealism in my photoshoot because I am displaying the photoshoot across a black background to enhance the appearance. With his photographs, I am intending on taking this idea of using a pixel stick in the similar way he has used it in his photo shoots. This photographic light trail was created by using s technique called ‘photorealism’ a skill that allows the Pixel Stick to display an image instead of just colorful lighting. ![]() These forms have a much more organic, exploratory feel, using the camera to uncover things hidden from ordinary perception. Hobson employ the technique known as ‘refractography’, by which light is manipulated in space and recorded on a camera without use of a lens. He not only does light trails with his pixel stick in his photoshoots but he also brings in the use of ‘photorealism’ which means he creates photographs and displays them in a light trail much like the other light trails but it comes out like a photograph. Hobson’s photography and work normally reflects a fascination with the ‘cup and ring’ tradition of prehistoric rock carvings, and their indication of the commonality of human consciousness. All of his images are real photographs, and not digitally enhanced in any way, being 100% ‘Straight out of the camera’ as said by Hobson himself, though RAW conversion is used to generate larger prints if they are required.īy spinning the Pixel Stick around in a circular motion it allowed him to create these incredible shapes Ian Hobson is a lapsed neuropharmacologist, his study with the medium of long exposure light painting photography has led him into these photoshoot of incredible light trails. The Pixel Stick allowed him to create these vibrant colors with LED lighting This means that the images are all done physically and the lighting is able to be both vibrant and yet also really in the images of Hobson’s. The images produced are ‘straight out of camera’ (SOOC). The whole aspect of creating these types of unique shapes and patterns by one simple stick inspired me to research him even more and look into how I can create these types of shapes and patterns in my own photo shoot.Īll of Ian Hobson’s light painting images are never digitally manipulated. Ian Hobson, a photographer, uses the Pixel stick in his photography to create light trails with shapes that have intense color and vibrancy. This led me into looking into the use of a Pixel stick and the way it can create these amazingly bright and solid light trails. My sixth photo shoot was based on the development of using light trails.
