Light painting Callinish stone circle

Callinish, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. 01:58am. 25 May 2013

Lens Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM

Exposure 30 secs, f/8, ISO800

I only upgrade my cameras when it is necessary. Over the years, running a business makes you more frugal. I only upgrade if I'm itching for new features that will push my creative mind to greater heights. When the Canon EOS 6D came on the scene, I was staggered that this compact full-frame DSLR not only had GPS, but Wi-Fi too. The latter of which can come in handy…

I have visited the Isle of Harris/Lewis a few times over the last ten years and I am always looking for new and exciting ways to photograph popular locations. I had been thinking about Callinish stone circle, a remarkable neolithic site with some of the most photogenic standing stones in the United Kingdom. There are plenty of dawn and dusk images out there, but very few images light painted. Ask yourself – if all you intend to do is create a facsimile, are you really doing yourself justice?

Whether you want to capture a painting like the above, digitise old prints or reproduce any kind of canvas, there's real skill in capturing artwork with your camera. Not only do you need the colours to be accurate, you also need to master the spread, angle and quality of the light to minimise glare and show the work at its best.This painting by the artist Bryan Hanlon has a wonderfully subtle colour palette. To reproduce the painting in print and digital form, it needs to be captured in the right way.
