Massive heatwave in France (part 5) - Lightpainting on Hive
Published on HivePostify by @dawnoner · Sun Aug 30 2026
Hi everyone,
As a lot of areas in the world, France faced a lot of heatwaves during this summer.
Up to 45°C during the day, not less than 30°C at night, it was such a challenge to face, even for me who comes from the French West Indies and who's used to hot temperature.
City counsel of Nantes took exceptionnal measures to help people : all swimming-pools were opened and free of charge, and every park was open h24.
As I had in mind for years to do a lightpainting session at the Parc of Procé and play with the antique Jules César bridge, I did not miss the opportunity to do this. After an entire day in my flat reading and trying the heat not to enter, I drove to the park at midnight and started the session :
267s 19mm f/6.3 100 ISO
93s 16mm f/6.3 100 ISO
Lightpainting created in real time, captured to the camera in single photographic frames. SOOC No layers /no Photoshop / no editing except minor adjustments (lens correction profite, WB, contrast (+12)) and addition of my logo.

WHAT IS LIGHTPAINTING? Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure. Nothing is added or removed in post processing.
