Joe Gilhooley Photography Light Painting Photography - Battle of Roslin Monument Monday 4th November 2013 - First attempt at light painting photography tonight. Idea is to get somewhere really dark. You set camera on tripod and leave shutter at open for a good few minutes. Then with a handlamp you paint light onto the subject (this time the monument). For this first attempt I wandered into woods tonight and stood in pitch darkness by Battle of Roslin Monument. Tried first 3 minutes. Next 5 minutes. Then third and last go I left shutter open for 8 minutes. Pleased with first go. Can you suggest any other local places I can light paint? Would like a war memorial somewhere dark. other latest photograph links Light Painting Photography - Battle of Roslin Monument - 3 minute exposure to light painting f16   Light Painting Photography - Battle of Roslin Monument - 5 minute exposure to light painting f16   Light Painting Photography - Battle of Roslin Monument - 8 minute exposure to light painting f22   back to the top
