Fun with Light Pens

[Lumen Miner]

Just thought I would load an example, of some images I have been playing with...

I have been teaching my brother, the art of light drawing...
We will move onto flora soon and do some landscapes. I needed to teach him about exposure and how to illuminate things correctly.

This is us just mucking around, I hope soon to post some landscapes...

These are taken with a digicam and 8sec exposure was max, so we had to move quick. Since these, I have invested in a Canon 350d. I hope to utilise this instead in future shots...

Thanks for looking, comments/advice welcome! :thumbsup:

Very cool Mitchell, a lot of color

[Lumen Miner]

Yeah!! We found these nifty little lights, they have a finger strap and come in packs of ten. Cheap too!!

Will be great on landscapes, greens for plants, blues for water....

Can't wait to start painting my first image...

I will have to do that type of photography with the kids.

Certainly adds another aspect to the whole affair.... I like shooting terrestrial at night alot.

Nice work :)
I remeber seeing an old Time Life photo of Picasso mid flight doing a light drawing, from memory it looked like a bull.

"I see you have constructed your own lightsabre, young Mitchell. Indeed, you are powerful in The Force, just as the Emperor suspected":lol::P:D

Thanks guys and gals!! I had a blast, I think he even had more fun than me.
He is really interested, in the painting of organic objects like I am... That's great because it is a whole lot easier, with two people to paint a landscape than one.... He's good to, almost too good for my liking... He has a real concept of light and its application to objects etc... keen eye.

This is my little brother by the way, I'm the eldest of three.
