That’s an interesting approach to light painting ndjetfan… And I can easily see it’s benefit when done well.
For Erik and Rob ( @erik-fransman @admin-2 )… Unlike the ‘usual’ preconceived notion of light painting where the photographer takes a single, long exposure image and a person moves through the image manipulating light (via waving a light wand to create patterns or swinging lit steel wool, etc)… This technique utilizes shorter exposure times while lighting ‘a small portion’ of the subject with a single light source (usually a flash light of sorts). The photographer then sequentially lights different ‘portions’ of the subject while adjusting the intensity and/or the angle of the light source (if req’d). This offers the potential of creating/reducing contrasts between different portions of the subject.
Using this method, it is easier to adjust various shadows and highlights in an image (and yes, I know this can also be done in post-processing as well).
In this case, the front tire may have been painted in the first image, then the handle bars and top of the gas tank painted in the second image, then the side of the tank, then it is lit from the back to provide a rim light (so to speak), and so on until the whole motorcycle has be photographed.
Once the subject has been painted (lit) to the photographer’s satisfaction, the images are then processed and the painted portions are stacked together to give the completed final image.
So, yes, it may not be the usual, preconceived light painting, but once one has seen it performed, one can see it’s potential benefits/possibilities.
Thank you, Federico.
Those are great shots, Robert!
The B&W work well with this Tersha. Nicely done.
Wonderful image, Pat… and that is great interaction with the raccoon!

Thank you, Frogdaily.
Thank you, Robert. Whales are truly an amazing creature. I could watch them all day.
Thank you, Rob.
Wow!! I’m stunned! Thank you for the honor of the POTW Federico.
And thank you for all the kind words from the rest of the group.
That is a wonderful series of images Elin! It looks like the people are closer to the lava than in previous times. I can only imagine the thoughts going through the workers minds.
Thank you for sharing!
That’s a great image, Marty!
Well said, Marty.
Thank you, Patrick. I have seen a lot of ‘tails’ and ‘humps’ of the whales, even a few where they ‘slap’ their pectoral fin on the water. But this was the first I had witnessed a breach. It is a moment I’ll always remember.
Thank you, Diane.
