Some more light painting to start the year
Today I am sharing a few light painting shots, again taken a while back when it was warmer, looking forward to spring arriving and some warmer weather in the early mornings so I can get out and try some ore
Starting with one I did by Fort Rodman

So what is light painting let me try to explain, actually let me cheat and copy and paste how I explained it in a previous post and was happy with it lOL
Light painting is basically photography’s rebellious cousin who skipped art school and went straight to rave school. Instead of brushes and canvas, you use flashlights, sparklers, glow sticks, or anything that creates light
You set your camera on a tripod, open the shutter for a few seconds or minutes, and then whoosh, you draw in the air with light. The camera sees all the glowing trails and goes, “Oh, cool, I’ll just record that like it’s normal.” And voilà—you’ve got a photo that hopefully you think is cool .
It’s like finger painting, but for grown-ups who still believe in magic and own more lenses than socks.
This next one is taken on Pope's Island,

For these you definitely need a tripod or something sturdy to sit your camera on if you do not have one as these are all long exposures, the shortest one being just over a minute and the longest almost three minutes
I am back in the Fort park again for this next one
