Light Painting experiment

[DES]

I used a small single LED light. It was bright enough that I had to work fast -- only 8 seconds for this one. Not the way I prefer to work, but interesting.

You managed to get fairly uniform lighting on this scene for a single light source. Nice result.

You didn't see the 5 or 6 rejects!

Love the soft quality of the light here.

Well done. The light looks very natural in this image. My guess is that you will have some issues with ghost shadows here and there which can by hard to control if you are doing this handheld. Did you start with a dark room?

Thanks to all for the comments.

Kurt....the room was not completely dark and I did not anticipate ghost shadows. In the image above I see weak shadows to the right and also the strong ones below. It was mostly my use of the light that created some unattractive shadows in shots I rejected. I would not deny that luck was involved in this first attempt.

Very nice work with the lighting and the subject.

Love the way you composed this. And that's great lighting.

I admire images like this. I wish I would remember to try some photography like this.
