Inspired by Gordon's PAINTING WITH LIGHT. I thought I'd try to do it with a different color and more textured brush. Gordon: congratulations on your original shot! Boy this is hard to get it right!!!
Shot with a 17-55mm 2.8 at f8, 10s. The brush is on red velvet. I used a maglight with tinfoil to narrow the light beam (pretty much like Gordon explains in his original description). Then I took tons of shots. This one is the best I could get.
I encourge people to try playing with long expositions and "painting with light" your subject. It is very creative and although it's hard, it is a lot of fun to sculpt the picture like that.
Happy holiday everyone!

Would you look at that, a DrJones shot with no one's or two's. Thats gotta be a first. While not quite up to par with the original, this was my favourite of the light painting shots.
I don't care for these streaks of light as much....maybe a different technique? I also would have liked a nicer looking paintbrush. Sometimes it's all in the details.
