Light Painting Photography - Part 2

Continuing on from my last efforts but with better, brighter lights. Which makes quite a bit of difference. I also had my brother assist on this shoot as my über assistant Nick had the audacity to have a life and be elsewhere.

 Didn't quite get the flash exposure right on these shots and more "flame" was needed. But not a bad start. 

 Definitely the best "burning man" effort so far. With our alternative "Green Lantern" flame. The shot on the right is inspired by sorcery type FX in films. My brother wanted to conjure a column of green flame in his hand, so after a few goes we came up with a specific technique which turned out quite cool I think. 

And this is the "Orb". These aren't exactly amazing examples but considering it's the first time I've ever tried it and I'd only constructed the lighting tool earlier that day I'm quite pleased with the result. More to come soon.

 We also had another go with 'on-camera' light painting. Here's my light-spider. 

 Then my brother got stuck in. If you're wondering why he draws like a five year old, these are all first time efforts with no practice. Can you tell what it is yet?

Writing your own name backwards in the air in the pitch black is harder than you'd think. Check out the light-shark attack!
