Default More lighting practice

I finally got my 3rd pocket wizard so I can fire both Vivitar's. I still need practice, and I took this one on my back deck tonight. I don't have a lot of experience with lighting, so when something actually turns out the way I pictured it in my head, it's pretty cool.

Awesome!!! I dont have fancy lighting equipment, but I used to get shots like that with a long exposure, and paint the object with a flashlight. Beautiful.

I still have a lot to learn, but it was actually pretty bright out, so I under exposed the sky and used a Vivitar high right from behind, and another one to the left. I took maybe 10-12 shots before settling on one.

Dude...also, give my way a try. Youll be amazed at how cool the shots look. Light painting is the new black. However, your results speak for themselves. Love it.

I've seen light painting on youtube and it's pretty cool! I want to try it some time.

Playing with light opens so many new realms. I like what you're doing - keep practicing and you may discover a very unique style.

You're also tempting me to get another flash
