Light Painting with Urban Explorers

After Christmas, I admired a location shared on a FB page and asked privately where it was as I thought it would be a great light painting location. The reply, while polite, was a firm “an urban explorer never divulges a location. However, if you keep it a secret and include us we will tell you”.  A meetup was arranged at a coffee shop to ‘suss’ each other out. We must have passed as they took us to the location, and a shoot was planned for the following week. Light Painting with Urban Explorers was on!

Getting there was easy enough though you had to accept wet feet to access the location.

Wet feet required
checking out the area.
Unfortunately, our site rained the night before our first look.

Skipping ahead a week, we had observed the weather for the next week, and with no rain for the past few days, the night was on! It was a lovely warm night—no rain on the horizon, which was a good thing. I didn’t want to be floating downstream if it started raining! 

We started off with coloured LEDs wands and orbs before moving to my favourite… steel wool!

Light Painting with Urban Explorers accomplished! Thank you to Bill and Deanne Holmer from Melbourne Light Painting and Mark and David for sharing their location.
