I believe it's light painting.

Where do I start. First off congratulations for coming up with the idea, secondly congratulations for the implementation of the idea. Finally the image has great colours and texture. Well done

Light painting is something I will try sometime.

Thanks for posting

Thanks everyone!

. It is light painting. I’m using some of the tools from this site.
They have a lot of tutorials on how to do different effects, they really are a good resource for learning how this stuff works.

Light painting is what really got me into photography and this is a fun looking shot. I've had my eye on the Light Painting Brushes site for a while, but using mostly DIY tools. The great thing about it is any sort of light emitting device could become a tool.

A nice shot there, I've not tried light painting yet and must give it a go sometime.

Totally! It's just a modifier for a flashlight. That said, I like DIY a lot and the light painting brushes are good value. I bought the basic set and one or two modifiers and it's nice they all work with the connector.

I really like the Fenix flashlight I bought - having something overly bright is nice once you start adding gel modifiers, they eat a lot of light.

It's good fun! I find practice really helps. You get a bit better each time you do it.
