Spiral out

Posted by Peter Mannfolk (Landskrona, Sweden) on 11 September 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

Hesitantly, I posted this one. Simply because it isn´t good. Maybe decent considering it´s a first attempt at light painting but nothing else than poor in comparison with some images I´ve seen on the web... Anyway, it was great fun doing this and the people staying at the camping just behind the camera also must have had some fun looking at a crazy guy running around with a flashlight...

It might not be "perfect" in comparison with some others, but it is interesting and pretty good. The one thing that I really like about it is not just the trail of light, but the light shining on the deck and the railings is interesting. (And I think it's good you persevered with it, even with others looking on wondering what you were up to. That's not always easy.)

@Jim: Yes, the traces on the deck was exactly what I thought made this image interesting and finally worth posting. Thanks Jim! /Peter

I agree. I really like the glow on the deck and railings showing the depth. I think it's more than good anyway.

You are correct it is not the best but still it is a great attempt and quite surreal

Experiment, evaluate, adjust. I like this because you are pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Keep pushing and you will find one that you like. I have wanted to try this and am not being pushed by you to pursue. Thanks.

j'aime : il ne suffit pas de faire du spectaculaire pour que ça plaise, la simplicité peut payer !
Bonnes teintes, belles formes, bon endroit...
Bien joué !

I like : it is not enough to make the spectacular asks for it, simplicity can pay !
Good colors, beautiful forms, right place ...
Well done !
