Last year my wife, Engogirl and I went down to the snow country to do some camping and skiing. We camped at Sawpit Creek and since there wasn’t all that much to do at night we played around with some light painting.
The picture was taken at 1600 ISO at f5.6 for 30 seconds. During the exposure I “painted” in the trees and my wife with a small AA torch (that’s a “flashlight” to you Americans out there). I had Engogirl move her arms to give the shot a little more interest.
This is very cool. I like the color of the “torch” light against the deep blue of the sky near the horizon.
It’s like the magician giving away his secrets. How the creative mind works when there’s ” nothing to do “.
Very striking colors, contrast and as well, a vertical snow angel without the snow.
I’ve taken night shots of my husband with a flashlight ( heavens’ not a torch ) in his mouth. The only glow that’s visible is the translucence of his cheeks.
Oh, I LOVE this!!

Thanks. Blue and yellow being complimentary, go so well together.

I felt I should explain how I did it because I knew I’d get asked. I love the idea of the torch in the mouth. I will “appropriate” that idea… in a post modernist manner of course.

I put this shot up because of your comment on the last post. Glad you like it.
Very very cool, Razz!
She kind of looks like a djinn.
If I were camping with a man with four hands, I could think of more entertaining ventures than photography. To each his own.
Cool shot though!
Pomeroy
She’s the one I dream of.

I can see him now, holding your………
sticks with marshmallows over the fire.
Very cool shot!
It truly is big sky country in Australia.
I thought all the 4 handed people were in Tasmania though.

Most of them have moved to the big cites…… to work as dishwashers.
Ahh, I haven’t done this since I switched to digital…Should do it again sometime though, it’s so much fun. Great shot.
