For this image, I went into a dark room, set the camera on a tri-pod, put the shutter on the longest possible setting (30secs) and while the shutter was open, with a light, I drew this human figure. This was a good test and I was ready for more experimentation...
...Now I decided to stand in the frame, get someone to shine a light on me and draw and image onto myself, as you can see in this image I drew myself another head and hands. This came out great, but I feel I could do more....
...I got my friend to sit in this chair and stay very still (to stop movement from showing up) and drew the light around him making this image. This particular light painting came out great and couldn't stop...
...I got my other friend to do the same and I experimented by trying to draw (with the light) a crown, throne and staff to make him look like a king. I feel I have succeeded in this as you can clearly tell he is a king, thanks to the light. I feel the light is like creating a new world on top of the normal we now live in, I find it fascinating and want to do more of this for my future photography.
Thanks to Julian & Elliot for helping me on this task.
