Painting with light is a very general term. It could mean a lot of different things. After going over the examples of Pablo Picasso’s light painting portraits many ideas came to mind. I did something similar to this challenge a few weeks back. Our first photo challenge I photographed my self with written text. I used a light, and a long exposure to paint the fluorescent trails of text. Taking this into consideration I realized I wanted to go in a complete different direction to add some variety to my blog. It worked out conveniently that I had a field trip to a ghost town in northern Nevada. I decided that this is where I would complete my photo challenge. Rather than making trails for the majority of my image, I decided to photograph something a little different. I photographed a historic town site in the middle of the desert at dusk, the best time for shooting outdoors in the desert I’d say. I placed my camera a few feet away from the building and pulled out a wireless flash. I set my camera to record for a couple of seconds while I ran along the exterior to light building in different places. This final result is three images combined.
