Light Painting…PIC BY REGIS MATTHEY / CATERS NEWS – (PICTURED Light painting of ducks on water) A photographer has brought a series of pictures taken in the middle of the night to life – by using spectacular light paintings to outline imaginary people. In one scene an empty playground becomes filled with excitable children and in another a basketball court is lit up with a player preparing to take aim. Swiss photographer Regis Matthey, 25, creates his art using a long exposure shot meaning he only has several seconds to draw the paintings before the camera shutter closes. And despite his stunning results Regis, who captured the images at various locations near the Swiss town of La Vallee de Joux, insists you only need basic equipment to create such work.
