Description A small tutorial i finally had the time to achieve...
I know it's a limited thing to really understand all the things involved in the long exposure light painting process, but i hope it can give you some pieces to make your own artwork.

Ps: sorry for the possible grammatical and spelling english mistakes

do you put the color cover on top of the flashlight or the camera lens?

woah i had no idea this was the way to actually take those kind of shots. i kind of worked in reverse. the light would be in a certain place. usually lights i had no way of controlling. and since i couldnt move the light i would shake the camera and move it in all sorts of ways. im going to try this out some day. very good tutorial.

i honestly dont understand this...
i like it, and wanna try it, but idk how u got the light to make those streams and waves like that.
wouldnt the camera just take a photo of the table with a light on it?

An even better (and much harder way) is to use a laser. Or even those sparky-things-on-a-stick, joss-sticks and the like.
