Night Shooting - Painting with Light

For this activity I set my camera up on a tripod in my front yard at around 9pm. I also used a cable shutter release to prevent any camera shake while I left the shutter open for long periods of time. Other equipment included several LED bulbs normally used in paper lanterns and a small torch with a white bulb.

The follow pictures are some of the results of my experimentation with light painting. I used a light on the ground as something to focus on in manual focus to get a clear image.
