Default My Sweet Mandolin

Hello DPS Family, It's getting close to bed time here in South Korea, but I wanted to share my latest attempt at Light Painting. If you saw my post yesterday, you'll remember that I used a technique called still life Light Painting. I'm amazed at how I was able to control the light on my subject using this method.

My Mandolin.

This is just my 2nd attempt, so be gentle, I believe I'll get better and better at this. It's really a lot of fun!
Thanks for Looking and Have a Blessed Day!
Michael.

If that is a practice shot I can only imagine how amazing your "real" shots will look like. What a great product.

Thanks Heaterguy, The hard part was not getting too much glare off the gloss finish.
I appreciate your looking and the kind words.

this is amazing - I must go back and look at your previous post. If this is a new area for you - you have already made it an art.

What do you mean, "be gentle"? This is terrific and the lighting is stunning. No need for gentility here as you've done great!

Hi Michael. I don't think you need practice as the last two post about light painting have been extremely nice. I would say you are there already. Thanks for sharing.

You play the mandolin? Say more, please. No surprise. You strike me as a Renaissance Man. This is just a beautiful photo and the way you have "played" with the light is well...musical...and here I'm thinking Peter Ostroushko good.
