Very cool shots to say the least. I found a site posted by Nikon that describes the techniques by Dave Black that might be a help to me and anyone else interested; http://www.nikonusa.com/Learn-And-Explore/Photography-Techniques/gn9f48zh/1/Lighting-Techniques-Light-Painting.html

Based on the site mentioned above, if you want to print this article, it is 15 pages for the printer, but only the first two pages are the actual article. The rest is nothing on the pages. I suggest you ask for pages one and two to save paper.

WOW...these are just wonderful!
So when you want to "paint" you scan over the area with a spot light? When you're done with the spot light you stop the exposure?

Yes; open shutter, walk around "painting" subject with light, close shutter. It's a good idea to take a penlight with you to light your way back to the camera when you've finished "painting".

Would like to know what light source you are painting with
A million-candlepower spotllight, and for the windmill, a 4 cell maglite.

I am assuming you set your custom white balance to daylight setting, what were the other camera settings, exposure or shutterspeed, ISO, f/stop, etc... and what camera and lens did you use?

Most of these exposures are around 90 seconds. This bridge took over 2 min to paint. The "orange" light comes from lights from a nearby park.

White balance set to auto. The windmill/house was 93 sec at f4.2, focal length 24 mm. All of these were taken with a Nikon D70, the only one I had a cable release for at the time.
The house(and owl)/tool shed was 63 sec at f3.5, 18mm. And the bridge was 132 sec (had a long way to walk), f8, 18 mm. ISO was 200.

Black didn't invent lightpainting but as far as I'm concerned, he's the guru. That Nikon article lays it all out.

Neat technique!
I've seen similar results using strobes with the camera on a tripod. Create layers in photoshop. Put a black layer on top and use a paint brush to reduce the opacity of the layer at selected areas..
Cool the way you did it.

Wish I knew how to use layers in Photoshop. "Painting" it like that'd sure be easier than tromping around in the dark trying to avoid stepping in a hole or running over some old piece of farm equipment! :-)

Love the technique. Must take some powerful lights? Some more details would be great.
