Hello everyone!
A couple of weeks ago, friends of mine who live in my neighbouhood asked me to visit their appartment to feed tha cat and prevent from burglary : someone broke into their flat in december while they were away. They live on the 10th and 11th floor, which is convenient for thieves.
During this period, I had a Dub night in Nantes : I'm an active member of the Get Up association which promotes the Sound System culture and organizes Dub events. During that week-end, a couple of friends and me ate space fruits (fresh organic fruits fried with home-made special butter with THC). As we had plenty of this butter, I had a lot for myself for sunday. I took it for dessert at every meal of the day 🤣
I left my home right after dinner at 9pm and walked to the appartment for feeding Jazzy the cat. I took my lightpainting gear because the rain stopped during the after noon, after several days on non-stop raining. I played with Jazzy then I climbed on the roof of the building, passing throught the terrasse. I started to made a couple of shots, with caution because there is absolutely no fence on the rooftop. Things were cool and I found my pace but, in the middle of the session, eatable THC started suddently to make effect 🤣 I have a bit of vertigo sometimes and it maximized it a lot, as I had to climb down and take some rest on the terrace during a couple of minutes, before going back to lightpainting.
At the end of the session, neighbours from the 7th floor of the building across the street saw me walking on the rooftop and they started to panic. As I was afraid they would call the police, I stopped what I was doing and I made light signals to them to
to reassure them.
Here's a picture I took at the beginning of the session :

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.
