Last year I started venturing into night shooting with my camera, starting to shoot long exposures with stars and the milky way, but one of the funnest ways is to find a completely dark area and play around with light sources. Last fall I took a workshop at New England School of Photography and we went out to Fort Revere Park in Hull, MA (which was pitch black at 10pm at night!) and had a blast playing in the dark! This was shot using a clear tube with flashlights at each end. As I opened the shutter Cousin Wendy walked back and forth with the light source, close the shutter and voila! So fun to see what the camera can see when we can’t.

I’ve not done any light painting, but now I am inspired.
