    very nice. I like the effect of light painting, it doesn't seem to be as harsh as flash.

    I have a question though: isn't the metal wreck rusting there an environmental hazard?

    Too much iron in the fishes diet you think?

    It's there for the environment apparently. It was scuttled as an erosion stop for the cliff it's next to. Before that it was totally stripped of all fluids etc.

    I enjoy these as well. So, let me see if I understand what you are doing because I think I know but I want to make sure. You set up the shot on a tripod and go for a 5/10/20/30 second exposure and then walk around - careful to stay out of frame, and shine a torch or fire the flash at the object you are shooting?

    I definitely like the results. It's very nice stuff.

    Yeh ... pretty much.
    Sometimes I get these in single shot ... sometimes I have to combine several shots.
    Exposure time varies of course.
    I use very bright lights ... about 400 lumen at least I think they are.
    I avoid walking into the shot if I can and simply shoot over the top of the camera.
    If you do need to walk in you need very dark conditions, very dark clothes, avoid silhouetting yourself against the lighter sky, and avoid letting the camera 'see' the torch/light head.
