Sunday Stills

This week's challenge was light painting, and I really had a blast with this one! I set my camera for the night setting, and made sure the flash was off. First I tried candles as my light source.
This one was my favorite of the candle ones. Next, I plugged in my Christmas lights outside- they are up all year round.
This was getting to be fun! So then I focused on the distant lights of town, zooming in on them.

The yard light..
All of the above photos, I moved the camera in patterns. So then I tried using a flashlight, moving the light instead of the camera.

Thanks for the challenge Linda, this one was really fun!

I tried it too on our camping trip to Canyon De Chelly. Check 'em out if you'd like. So much fun. Thank you for sharing your cool photos.

Yours turned out great!! I especially like your Christmas lights :)

I tried the flashlight thing, and yard light. Unfortunately it didn't work too well, I think it was too bright out.

Fantastic!!!

I love that your Christmas lights stay up all year. I did that with a tree in our orchard last year and periodically turned them on :-).

Looks like fun even!! I think with your yard light you coulda made a design (your brand would be cool) I might have to give that a try

I've never heard of such a think. That's cool. I love the Christmas lights.
