LIGHTPAINTING

Lightpainting it really fun! This was done with a flashlight, a camera and tripod and a very dark room. Exposure time as 20seconds at f22 ISO 200. The blue cast is from the windows that leaked light. The cool part is that each try is unique, no two shots are the same.
Obviously you'll need a tripod, and a flashlight. Set your camera (if your camera will allow) for a 20 to 30 second exposure.Turn on Long Exposure Noise Reduction, and  If you don't have a built in timer, set the camera to B or Bulb. My camera lets me set the shutter speed down to 30 seconds. Click the shutter, turn on the flashlight and start painting. If may take several times to get what you want but this is the fun part. It took 5 tries to get it the way I wanted it.

The first shot was out of the camera, the second is after I tweaked it in Lightroom. It really is painting with light.
