Trying out Painting with LED Torch.

greengiant · 6 Jan 2007 at 21:08

Bored tonight, so set my K100D up on a tripod, set exposure to 10sec @ f16, and room lights off, and waggled the led torch around.

Not bad for a first attempt, but I think I need a better subject and try some different coloured led.

sorry dont come here often but that looks very good

I think it would look better if all the trails went round the back of the subject, not just on top.

Technically looks good but as you have already said you need a better subject, something you can follow.

I've been meaning to have a go at this technique myself but not got around to it yet. Looks like fun.

I like the shot, someone on here did a great one with apples... probably Cykey or SDK.

It was. I auctioned a print of it recently and made £100. The buyer probably paid close to £400 for it. I think you do need a better subject greengiant and maybe a more uniform pattern.

How come you got £100 for something that sold for £400? Plus, where did you sell it? I R nosey

Gallery took a cut, as did the auction place since it was a charity auction. I can't say who my client was due to forum rules.

A cut!? Blimey that's a huge chunk. Although as it's charity I suppose it's for a decent cause. Unless of course it was £250 for the auction house and £50 for charity, then that sucks

Last I was told it was 50% for the charity, 25% for my client and 25% for me.

The picture I made was more of a test rather than attempt at making a good light trail picture.
