Post CHAT - September 2012 Monthly Competition - Painting / Drawing with light

September 2012 monthly theme will be Painting or Drawing with light.

This maybe include but no limited to, long dark exposes and drawing something with a light source, using a light source to colour parts of a scene.

You can read some more here or here

Any level of PP aloud as long you have used a real light source to compile the photo in some way.

RULES - http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/fo...ead.php?t=7052

Good luck all and ill do my very best to get a poll ready on the 1st of October so the winner can post a new theme quickly.

A good theme, especially as, in Europe, our nights are drawing in. Lots of darkness to play in. Sad when Summer (what Summer lol) comes to an end.

Yup that makes two of us but then it is because I am totally pants at it, maybe if I give it another go I will learn to love it

Good technique though and I do love painting with light images.

Theres more than one way to paint with light....A night shot for example, of a rock or statue...Using a torch to paint the object gives great effect rather than a set light shining in one position. It doesnt have to be (im guessing) the classic long exposure with someone writing with or waving about, a torch.

Correct. This isn't limited to a set thing. I have 4 ideas, and all but 1 is completely different to the other.

This was my last attempt that involved using a maglite and one of those shower scrungy things:-

Take me to your leader
