Light painting

Been wanting to give this a try for a long time. It happened to be a challenge this week for a group I belong to on Flickr (never submitted to this group before, although I have been a member for quite a while). I have kept a coke bottle with the name of my youngest son on it with the idea to use it for light painting.

You need:

• a very dark room
• flash light/ light stick
• tripod
• I recommend a black backdrop
• ISO 200 works fine
• long shutter speed - I used 30 seconds
• aperture f/8
• an assistent - I didn't have one :)

Found some good tips here!
