laser showdown

[esahc85]

What do you think? This was taken while playing around one night with my girlfriend and another friend in the backyard. I shot it on a tripod with the shutter on Bulb with a rear sync flash (sb 800). Should I have pumped up the ISO a little higher. I had to brighten it up in post and I pulled out the colors of the lasers a little but I don't know much about post processing.

This is from my first time experimenting with light painting so any help would be cool. I think this was the best of the 20 or 30 I took that night.

Camera: Nikon D80
Exposure: 13.7
Aperture: f/18.0
Focal Length: 20 mm
Focal Length: 20.6 mm
ISO Speed: 100

Ps. another friend and I did the actual light painting

I think this is really good for your first try at light painting. Normally when I do light painting or night photography of that sort I use f/18-f/22 because I normally use bulb and have the shutter open for quite a bit. Both of your subjects are in focus which is good, it's not blurry and is pretty funny. To avoid having to brighten to lights afterwards I would suggest telling them to slow down a little bit when they're moving the lasers. The slower they move them the brighter it will show up in your picture, either that or use a smaller aperture.

thanks for thoughts. still wondering about that Iso and how that effects light painting
