Default Light Painting

Hello DPS family!
I read Arlons how I took it on light painting still lifes slightly different light painting (still life)
I wanted to try it and here's what I came up with, I'll keep looking for subjects and I have Ideas for isolating the backgrounds a little better.

Hers my 1st attempt. I'll get better, it's a winter project, it's getting cold here in South Korea!

Buddha in the light

Thanks for looking and Have a Blessed Day!
Michael.

Chewy, that's a really nice shot. It looks like the light painting comes natural to you. I remember years ago doing light painting with flash at traffic accident scenes. Most often the results were dependent on lady luck.

Nice lighting, Michael. You've done well with this one and I'm looking forward to seeing where your imagination takes you next. In another month, everything will be brown here and I'll need some inspiration for the winter. I think you've just given me some. Thanks!!!

It's certainly a beautiful shot Michael...I don't know anything about this subject, but I know I like this shot a lot.

Hi Michael. I really like this shot for the subject matter (Buddhist in nature: My dad followed this philosophy), and the lighting is superb. Thanks for sharing this memorable photo, and bringing back to my father who passed away about 4 years ago.

Wonderful shot, Michael I love the complete void in the background! Well done. I'll have to check out that thread.

it's getting cold here in South Korea!

What a good idea, soft light on a golden figuer, I think I might try this myself as the weather deteriorates, and I think we could see a few others doing the same, cheers Michael and keep the hat, gloves and scarf handy
