New to Light Painting
Feb 21, 2018 16:26:23 #
I am new to trying light painting. I have been using SLRs for ~50 years, but have never before tried light painting. I went for the less is more, minimalist approach. The shot is all 1 in-camera shot for 30 seconds. I suspended a flashlight from the basement rafter and pointed the camera straight up under it. I made a mask for the light so that it had a 3/16" hole in it and I laid gels over the lens. For this shot, I used a blue and red gel with a small gap between them. I am interested in the group's thoughts on this result.

Very nice, I love it!
I did this with the same way you did! I used a LED flash light cover with color gel.

Nice. How did you get the irregular shapes with points like at the top and bottom of the middle area?

I didn't know myself neither, I just swing the light hard from a sharp angle while the flash light was still wobbling from side to side itself at the same time I let the shutter open, the points were caused from the wobbling of the light. Here's an other taken at the same time but I waited until it became steady on the path. It was a double exposure shot with a black sheet of paper covering the lens while the shutter was still open to create a white light at the center.
