I decided to try something a little different than normal tonight. This is a photography style called Lightpainting and it was the first time I have tried it on something larger than an item on my desk. It is done using a long exposure (30 seconds for this shot) and lighting the tree using a 2,000,000 candle handheld floodlight while moving around about 40 ft on either side of the camera “painting” the tree with light.
While I still have a lot to learn I thought it turned out pretty cool and wanted to post it. Figured some of you might be getting tired of the endless stream of sports photos.
If you want to see some examples by a true master of this style, check out this link to the work of a guy named Dave Black.

I have a long way to go to get to his level of mastery. He is also a kick ass sports photographer.
Absolutely stunning!!!
