some more light painting

For this week for these themes I am sharing some light painting images I have taken recently

Witht he sunrise getting later and me still waking early and heading out well before sunrise, its been a good time to experiment more with this, well till the clocks changed last night and the sunrise is now a bit earlier

And some have asked what is light painting and how I do it

Lightpainting is a photographic technique in which exposures are made mostly long exposures so you need your camera on a steady surface such as a tripod. and by moving a hand-held light source this can be to to illuminate a subject, create light patterns, or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, another way is by moving the camera itself during exposure, something i havent tried intentionally myself, I have sometimes moved my camera while taking a long exposure and got some funky effects.
and for many me included, although I do edit all my photos I do not add any effects while edited just fine tune what a managed to catch.

For my light sourse I have two RGB critter flashlights, that can be set to shine in a variety of colors or patterns of colors, and some attachments I connect to these.

Each time i go out I am trying to get better with the images i create and i would like to think I am doing better than when I started but then I see some amazing light painting effects created by others and it inspires me to keep practicing and hopefully improving

Starting with this oen taken at Fort Taber.
