I have been thinking about trying out some light painting with flashlight/lasers etc.
So, my challenge is for you to inspire me with your creations. Have fun.


The competition ends midnight Sunday 13th Mar 2016







Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

Everyone is eligible to send in their best interpretation of the given theme, as long as the photo is taken with a Pentax/Samsung camera. Themes can be subject-oriented or technique-oriented.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax (or Samsung DSLR) camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Not something I've done much of, but when my son and his girlfriend joined us on a camping expedition last summer we fooled around with the flashlights one night. It was a lot of fun.

I did this at Christmas time. I have a 2ft fiber optic tree and took this shot by opening the shutter for 2.5 secs and moving the camera around while the camera was "painting" the picture The tree is presented upside down for the tornado effect and I added some Christmas objects that are swirling in the storm.--charliezap

Well, I have only one which might be eligible for this one, although I am not completely sure. Well, throw it out, don't judge it if it isn't. Made it some time ago in the framework of a Single in Challenge: it is one exposure, but with several flashes of the flashlight.

How about some jaggies from shooting a long exposure (3 seconds) while riding down the highway at night? Does this count as light painting?

Oddly enough we had a power outage tonight, what a perfect time to go outside in the rain and do some light painting. But I actually took this one in the house and the power came back on during the exposure, a white door frame showed brightly, but was an easy square crop. Pretty goofy but it was probably the best one.

Lazy man's light painting. Just park the camera on a tripod and let the cars go by.
