Light painting

Today was my first attempt at setting up some light painting using my trusty Nikon D5000, some small props, and using only my cell phone as a light source. Many of the images were out of focus and kinda difficult obtain. I do not have a completely dark area to work with for this shoot so we are going to make due with waiting until sundown.

The first few images were way over exposed and came out very distorted, but after a few test shots and getting my exposure dialed in i quickly had very cool images to work with. The cell phone  (I phone 6+) was a great source for light for my first choice. I was able to easily turn up or down the intensity of the light using either the front screen or my flashlight app. I attempted to use colors from my screen but they did not have the density i wanted, even after P.P they were just not what i was looking for. 

I left this shoot feeling good and had many images to show for it! It's a great feeling knowing the ease it took in creating amazing art with such simple tools. I would really like to take another stab at this style of shoot with more lights, different props and possibly a better lens.
