30 Seconds

To pay homage to LED Eddies 30 second restriction after breaking his shutter release cable, I decided to challenge myself with my own 30 second limit. This is about as much running around like a lunatic as I can cram in.

Respect to LED Eddie for managing what he did in that time, must have been an athlete in a previous life, I now realise just how short that time is!

Cropped a little in Lightroom but that's about it, the rest done in camera.

Good going Andy... A far finer job that the previous nights attempt!!! I'm still amazed at the pic of LED Eddies. That was crazy quick.

AndyK! says:

Cool result mate, especially in the "permitted" time :-)

30 sec goes nowhere does it LOL ;-)

Damn, this is like a new, cool version of Name That Tune... I can light paint something cool in 30 seconds. AndyK: Light paint that scene!

Outstanding work sir.

LED Eddie says:

Fine effort ! Used to ride for a cycle team in my previous life so know a thing or two about performance "tuning". These day I thank Yum Yums and Twinings for my current performance levels now. Do check out my new product lines as I may soon be launching a range of clothing :)

Great Andy !

Very nice that you pay homage to Eddie like this, I stumbled over his shot recently.

And 30s is a very short amount of time, especially if you have to go long ways or want to do several different figures.

For example the lightpainting in my stream, which you commented, takes 70s and we've been 2 people and there is nothing more in it than a sparkle wheel and blue walls.

I've broke my wireless shutter recently but it is still working in 98% of the shots, I'm glad about that.

This is one of the coolest pics I've ever seen!! 30 seconds must have been quite tight for all this, I'm lucky to get a pair of orbs or something like that :P
