As promised here are a couple more pictures of my light painting experiments.
Bear in mind that these shot in a totally dark basement with no more light than a sweep of a torch!
A tulip dunked upside down in a vase of water....
I know it's not your average style of image and perhaps will not appeal to the photographic purist. But they kind of float my boat ....
and I guess that is what counts most....
(yeah, I am getting bolshy in my old age!!)
bolshy?
BOLSHY?
well, I find it hard to believe that there's just a torch (read: flame) lighting these. So, I just won't believe it. There.
(okay, I believe it. you can do miracles with those tools of yours)

I think they look pretty amazing, but it doesn't matter what I think - you are so right in saying that 'floating your own boat' is what matters most! Ux

They are amazing! I's love the 'how to' that you mentioned too. I can't imagine how this is done.

yeah, that is what counts. I think us ild chooks get that right after a while.
I love the contrast and the tiny bubbles of air against the outside of the flower.. dramatic.gorgeous.
