Tegg's Nose Quarry, Macclesfield - first attempts at Light Painting...

As per title, shot up in a disused quarry just outside Macclesfield, with a little help from my son to trigger the shutter.

Comments and critique for future efforts welcome... [Other than needing a steadier hand for the first one!]

I like the first one, the wobbly lines make it more interesting. I've clambered around that crane a few times myself but I don't think I'd dare go up there in the dark, too many sudden drops.

I think you've done really well with this.

I've never done light painting and this looks like it was a difficult subject to light due to its size so congrats.

Either No1 or No4 would be my fav, I like the perspective of No1 but the overall look of No4 is good too.

Not liking the border so much though!

I'd agree; I thought from the daytime recce that no1 would come out best but I'm preferring no4.

Border can easily be changed, just wanted something to frame the shot.
