Light Painting the Sculptures...

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Joined Gerry and Suren for a very late (got home at 1:30AM the next morning much to the wife's disgust :)) light painting session at Sculpture By the Sea.

These are the last four of the six different sculptures we included in our compositions.

red and green lasers + white and red light used at a very low angle from the sides

Gerry on the red and blue EL wires + me with orange LED light

Gerry wanted to do something with these fantastic infinity stairs before we left for the night and I wanted to give my orb tool a spin so...

They are bloody brilliant! Technically superb and creative to boot. You have modified someone elses work of art to become uniquely your own.

I think the second shot is the pick of the bunch.

Love the commitment! It's been a while since I stayed out that late for some photo fun! My picks are Blue Lava and Drive! Perfect balance of crazy light painting and composition! Done well, very well!
