I am just learning night time/astro photography and this is the second image I have posted on FM (the other also being on this site awhile back). I have watched quite a few videos (and an e-book I have only half read), and when it comes to light painting many people use what I think is a bit of a heavy hand. Granted, for some subjects that OK. For this one, I wanted a more muted approach. I have found that it's hard to have a light, even-handed touch when rushing to do these in a single exposure of 15 sec or less.
