SOOC - No cropping and no exposure adjustments.
ISO 160, 1-sec at f/22, Lit with my Fenix LD24 Flashlight.
I watched the first 2 tutorials that Nikonian72 gave me links to. I'm not to the slide rail part yet, so I still don't know exactly what those are, but I have an idea.
A Pecan...
LED Flashlights tend to have a blue cast. Filtering it with a facial tissue or editing in post might help.

Shutterbugger told me this flashlight was one that could be used for photography. No problem to fix it in post, but I just wanted to show how well it worked to light a macro shot like this. I was surprised. Of coursed the subject cannot be moving. It wouldn't work for "crawlers".
You gave me this light painting bug yesterday, Steve, when you gave Graham complete instructions on how to do it.

Light painting is addicting and ever changing! Cheers.

I missed Steve's post on light painting. Is there a link?

This is well done Nightski, sharp focus and good illumination. I agree with Steve, there is a blue cast to the light. No worries you can either use custom white balance in the camera (preferred) or adjust in post. The latter works most of the time as long as no other light sources are adding illumination to the photo. The photographer does need to be aware that cheaper LED lights, even from the same manufacturer and lamp type, may cast different hues depending on the LED used. Typically they come in white, blue and yellow varieties. I like using LEDs for tabletop work - compact, bright, and the units run cool.
Would like to see the two tutorials that Nikonian72 sent you. Thank you for your time.

Oh, he sent me lots of them. Click on my name, then click on my bookmarks. It's the only thing I have bookmarked. :-)
