This is simply amazing. It has a certain quality (feel) to it that I've not seen before.

I have it on my list to try light painting, but of a totally different kind. It's for building interiors which are too large to practically light. You set the camera to a long exposure. Then, wearing dark overalls and a ski mask, you walk through the scene, painting it with a jumbo floodlight. It works! I saw examples. You can even draw attention to certain areas by lighting them a little longer.

Anyway, back to this. Very beautiful!

Thanks for the very kind comments.

I've used light painting on a number of subjects, from locomotive steam engines, to river banks, to cars and flowers. I used it in a number of museum shots yesterday. It works fine, but takes patience and time to figure out the right exposure for the differing conditions.

What kind of penlight do you use, Kerry? Sizewise, brand, etc etc.
Again, awesome stuff.

Hi Effie,

I'm using a Mini Maglite, which uses 2 AAA batteries, from MAG Instruments in California. I suspect that most any brand of penlights would be sufficient for the task, so long as you can "focus" the beam somewhat. You probably don't want one that has a wide, hard to control, beam of light.

It's much better to use a light that isn't very bright, than to use one that is too bright. Of course, it depends upon the scene, but for the small stuff like these flowers, less is more. Too much light reduces your ability to "paint" and will blow highlights very quickly.

This is an incredible image! I am new to all this and I have never heard the term "painting" like this. Can anyone post a link that explains techniques that could give me a starting point to try this myself? This is amazing! Great Job.

Thanks for your very kind comments.

Sorry, I can't give you a link. I have no idea what might be available on the web for this. I posted my technique in a previous post.
