From our 'Painting With Light, night at my camera club.

No photoshop , minimal editing

View On Black

Sparklers and cold cathode, with green LED strip and light pollution for side and backlighting. Straight off the RAW file, no photoshopping other than a bit of noise reduction and white balance tweaking.

Wobbly orb rocked up to see what I was doing!!

This was my second attempt at doing a light orb

Can't wait to do more of these! Fun stuff!

An unbelievable light orb materialized in Doug's Place Collision Repairs

Really like this orange colour. Trying to spin closer to the ground as well.

Light orbs using glowsticks and fishing line. I set the iso too high, so the background is grainy.

Few more from out trek downtown.

So, my parents told me a lot when i was younger "Never meet anyone off the internet because they will turn out to men in their 30's!!"........And they were right, but at least i knew that from the start (Jeez, now i hope they aren't in their 20's, that could be offensive haha!)

Met up with www.flickr.com/photos/allanengland/ and www.flickr.com/photos/fellwalker1/ for my first light painting session outside of my own house. Great night out (from about 19:00 til 23:15 i think!?), surprisingly warm but we were playing with fire and i didn't have to travel too far!

Great to meet you both, thanks to Allan for being very generous with his Magnesium and to Mike for some hints and tips!

Trying out two new tools... Very pleased with them... Just not with myself after making the elementary school boy error of leaving the aperture wide open from earlier in the day, which ended up blowing the colours out of the orbs.,, Didn't realise until I got home!!!

Austin asked me to go out and take one more shot tonight. I was almost ready for bed. Oh the sacrifices I make. lol

Out tonight testing some more lights. Had some real duds and a couple of nice ones.

This is my entry in to the Lightpaintingphotography.com April 2012 contest. I made the light stencils for the woman in the center and the light bulb and the text(being sure to give credit to all those who helped me out with this project thanks to eveyone) I also made a tool for the light orb simular to the one made by TxPilot but added my twist to it by makeing a double orb and the moter and the lights are turn on and off together with a switch. to make the large A shape I used EL wire.

First orb of the night. I definitely need to practice more...

Had to tweak the RAW file to dampen the light pollution.

Ronson Bike Light

one of my first dome photos. I just taped finger LEDs to a pan. It was very poorly put together but I just wanted to try it out.

Taken at the local beach, in a spare half hour me and the orb had... Its been a busy week!!
