maybe a little less grain...seems to pixelate with the upload transfer..?

anyhow camera is a d7100 Nikon with a tokina 12-24 wide angle lense...

I used a good old Makita torch to paint the subjects for 2 seconds ...then move the subjects , paint subject in new position ,for 2 seconds ,move the subject out of frame ..and finaly paint the tractor for about 5 seconds of torch light.....
all within a 30 second exposure ...aperture f7....iso about 400

p.s you gota work fast lol

fully imported from the usa ...biggest tractor you could buy in Australia at that time

Nice job Mick. I havent done alot of light painting myself but if you painted the tractor first then your people would it make them less ghosty? On some of the shots I like the ghosty look (esp the first shot of the other thread)

...possibly..?....the trick is to get the people still while you paint..
I think ...and the longer you paint them the more solid they become ..
