About the Image(s)
We watched a presentation about 'light painting' at our camera club recently, so a few of us had a go at it. If you're not familiar with the process, it involved illuminating a scene by wafting around torches etc, in a dark room.
Details: 20 second exposure, f/11, manual (guessed!) exposure, manual focus.
Post processing - tweaking the contrast a little, and using 'spot healing' to remove a few bits of fluff from the black velvet background.

Well done. I have wanted to try that after watching a PSA still life seminar. How did you know 20 seconds was the right speed? Posted: 10/11/2026 19:42:16
Bollin - a bit of guesswork, and some trial and error! Posted: 10/16/2026 07:59:32
