Default First attempt at light painting

Today's project. I just don't know. I think my LED flashlight was not a concentrated enough beam.

Great shots - very effective. I like that 2nd one the best. Good composition, colour comes through well. Cheers, Bernz

I love the shadows in the second two and they really give depth to the photographs, but my favouite is the first one. The lighting is so good on that one and the dark background really makes the gorgeous colour pop. Very nice work Martha. You did good for this project.

Dave.

wonderful shots, i love the affect it created, i think your beam was plenty concentrated, on the last shot some of the leaves are almost white, so on the contrary i think your light was almost too concentrated, at least in the last one. But thats just my thoughts and im for sure no pro

I like the shadows, too. I think I'm going to try to play around more with the shadows!
