Don't just share your picture, this is for sharing "how you did it". Give us a little info. Picture is nice but what exactly did you do that constitutes "light painting"?

I've tried a few people with dismal results because there is just no way for them to stay still long enought to get the exposure. Such a cool shot, I'd love to hear some details about it. (-:}

I tried the same but could not get the same result.
When ever I throw light few of the light goes to the base and base light ups.

How to handle that. I can remove that from Photoshop but is there any other solution

Hi,

I thought I would give this a go as well. I found that to get reasonable light, it is important to work the light fairly methodically and evenly over the subject. If you shake the light to violently, it is easy to get light leaks and hotspots. My attempt is far from perfect, but this example is the best I got out of the short play session I had.

Regards,

Jonathan

This is my attempt using same method as explained by Arlon, I used tiny LED torch but still picked up some light and shade may be I placed my subject very close to background.
