Light Painting

This is a smaller file 360 kb
My 1st attempt at light painting,the flashlight was dying out on me so I picked the best of 5 shots.
I just passed the light beam around the flowers from 3 feet away during the 6 second exposure.
Exposure 6 sec.
f-4
iso 400
40mm

Post Processing,just darkened area around chair.

Only suggestion would be to set a custom white balance with the flashlight first.
Oh, and get some more batteries.. (-:}

Some of my light painting out here: Light painting examples. Photo Gallery by Arlon at pbase.com
I also did a short video on light painting on youtube: YouTube - ‪light paint movie‬‏

It's addicting!

Thanks!!...I will definitely do the White Card custom WB on my next ones but I like the way the odd white balnce is here because it shows a purple blue from led,and does strange saturation to red flowers.:-)
I turned up the WB in Lightroom but diddnt like it so i just left it
WB was 6,000 here.
