Has a brief opportunity to avoid the crowds tonight. The weather was quite nasty with pretty strong sea spray which made the air quite misty. On the plus side, I got parking right in front of the park near Tamarama beach.

As usual for your critique..

#1 doesn't work for me, but I think your lighting of #2 & #3 really add something to the image. I think the light mist helped too

#3 I would prefer that the shadow behind the sculpture wasn't there. It seems at odds with the rest of the lighting. Is that the moon in shot, or a pause with your torch?

I really like #3.
I agree with Mr Darcy about the light. The light on the ground is a little distracting.

Those second 2 are mesmerising. Had it not been for the comments from the others I'd not have realised this was done with light painting. Before I read the comments I was trying to work our how all that wispy smoke ended up there. 2 thumbs up

Last 2 are outstanding! Immaculate technique and beautifully creative. Take a bow.

Suren, that last one is very nicely done, great concept, the only issue I have is with the excessive light foreground and grass, I would just PP darken that and it would be steller!

Could you please explain how much of this is done on location and if any is post. Number 3 works best for me.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

I will have a look at darkening the foreground a bit.(on my desktop) I find it's clumsy to do adjustments on a laptop with a trackpad...

Big V, this is done with a EL wire (for electricity) and torch (non diffused) just to illuminate the sculpture. No PS on this one! Not as dangerous as steel wool..

#1 has no EL wire ... Just plain torch.

Great stuff Surenj !

And here is some info on the stuff to save the curious some keystrokes

These are cool Surenj

So where do you get this stuff? (EL wire). It looks like fun!

Matt,
