Painting with light

[jdando]

Figured it was about time to post some Marauder type photos :)

By setting a long exposure you can use a flashlight or laser pointer to light up a car and create some interesting effects. It took a while to get the hang of it, but got a couple of decent ones.

There was a huge article in Pop-Photography last month about this 'painting' with light.

With a flashlight, and the 'bulb' setting on your camera, you can really have some fun.

Great stuff man!

Now try it with a friend.
Have them dress in ninja dark clothing (full).
Have them move the flash light for several moments, and then move to another spot and do it again.
Afterward, have them move out of the frame and continue the exposure.

You get something like this:

Thanks for the nice comments, I need to keep learning and trying new stuff!
