Description Standing in The Heart of The Ocean, Hidding behind the walls of time.
The secrets of life are hidden inside, with All the unknown questions and the unknown enigmas.

Standing inside the Heart of the Ocean, from the begining of life, alone, Behind the walls of time.
Watching Life, Watching Death, Watching the world changing in Time.

Standing In A deep ocean with A burning heart inside, waiting to fade away, to be away,
with Another Heart and another Ocean.

-----------------------------------------

The shot was taken in 'Beit Yanai Beach' next to Netanya, Israel.
this is not A manipulation.
I used A technique called Painting with light.

in this specific shot I set the white balance to the coldest Temperture (2500 kelvin) to get the blue effect.
I expused for 30 seconds and with the help of a little flashlight I ran like crazy in the frame during the exposure and "painted with light" the areas I wanted.
the flashlight made the blue light you're seeing on the stone and in the sky.
it was hard and I made alot of experiments until I got this one to satisfy me.

- For more information on How to paint with light I recomend everyone to check Kil1k's Tutorial - Long Exposure Light Painting
- I suggest you'll run a search on painting with light too, there are many things you can create with it.

Well done... getting that light beam to fork is a cool trick in the dark... I would be a nice shot without the additions but I think you have added to the piece.. now I'll have a look at that link.

I never knew it was called painting with light. I always called it a Long Exposure shot with a flashlight or other light source. aka LESWAFOOLS

haha anyways. this is a beautiful shot. i love the shart points at the end. I kind of have an idea of how you did this and its quite smart. Also the setting and the white balance setting is AMAZINGLY beautiful and you deserve many kudos for such a beautiful piece.

sess-lover-forever In reply to ??? [2006-10-19 23:55:47 +0000 UTC]

personally, I like the way the light reflects from the source to the water and rocks. reminds me slightly of Caravaggio--the light source, only you show yours coming in. the blue hues add to that reflection, making an almost surreal walking path. got a bit descriptive...oops.
