Flying in the dark, far from giving precise or symmetrical results, was an opportunity to create and explore our creativity as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final image, composed of several photographs with an exposure time of 30 seconds each, had as its main challenges; the flight of the drone drawing circles at different heights in the dark, capturing each attempt in the same frame, and achieving the necessary depth of field to be able to focus the light trail despite the movements of the drone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to know more about the technique we suggest you see the interview<\/a> with photographer Alexander Seeley<\/a> where he talks in detail about the technical and creative process behind his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
