Painting.. With LIGHT

    Painting with light had to beone of my favorite techniques. It allowed you to create something so unusual and spectacular without even knowing what the end result was going to be. I experimented with different exposure times, aperture sizes and light sources until I found what I liked best. What my favorite time ended up being was 15 seconds, and I "painted" using a large flashlight that we usually use when the power goes out. I painted a number of things including my dog, some old pictures and a candle. The pictures came out really neat, and I chose to use the first picture, which is the more basic of my photos that just shows a jumble of these glowing light-lines. So cool. The second picture shows my baby dog Ruby as my model and I painted all around her. How cute?
