Default Writing with light

I was just goofing around the other night and took this shot. I set the timer on the camera so I could get in front of it. Shutter speed was 30 seconds ap was f16. All the lights in the house were off. Nice and dark. When the shutter opened I used my red lensed flashlight and first shined it all over my face. Then in my right hand I made a bunch of circles. Then I moved the light to my left hand and spelled my name in the air backwards so it would look the right way around in the picture. I know it's not the best quality pic, but it is a fun thing to do if you have a power outage or something. haha Enjoy!

Goofin around

A700, Tamron 28 - 300 lens set at 28, 30 sec @f16

This is something really cool and fun to do, I bet. I'm really looking forward to trying this, but I can't get a hold of a good flashlight! I'm not too sure as to what aperture settings work better, but I guess I'll do a little trial and error.
Thanks for sharing!

Another wal-mart special, they have like 5 or 10 dollar little laser/led flashlights in the check out line, did this one time with a friend so I didn't have to get in front of the camera myself. Lots of fun stuff is possible with these little things.
