The "other" kind of painting with light - long exposure and a flashlight moved around on the subject to "paint" it with light:

Thank you kindly! No ND's used on these. Just straight up long exposures on bare, non-filtered lenses, late at night.1.

Did you have to use a ND filter to create those? I haven't seen that much intricate detail on a light painting shot before...
Very cool.
I'd love to see them. Would love to know your "special technique" as well, but I know a lot of folks don't like to reveal the "magic".I used a special technique of lighting painting to get this image. I have several more if anyone is interested.
Cool dome shots! I've been meaning to do some of those, but haven't gotten round to it yet. Maybe this spring I'll finally do it.
Are you asking "how" on mine or Jenn's?
Well, like the devices used to make dome shots, I've built an apparatus to gain enough control for the orb to look so perfectly round, as it does in #1. Basically, I have a pole about 3 feet tall with a point on the bottom that goes into the ground as a pivot point. A handle on it allows me to control it. Towards the top of that pole I've affixed a pulley with 2 old fishing pole rods sticking out from it. On the ends of the rods are the LED's which I wrap in gels to get different colors. The wires run down the poles toward the pulley, where I've put the batteries to run them, as well as an on/off switch.Cool dome shots!

Thanks Buckster.
Whoever is willing to divulge, I'm willing to learn from

So, while slowly turning the pulley/fishing poles/LEDs, I also pivot the pole stuck in the ground around it's axis.
As for Jen's, I have no idea, but pressed for a guess, I'd go with a long exposure of a screen saver.
Here are some of my very first experiments with painting with light. I shot these back in 1976:
1. Electric Tunnel
2. Electric Fence
3. Levitate

Kids having fun in the dark with LED light sabres...
