March 11, 2015. Oulu, Finland. Nikon D3200, AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II.

I guess this was one of my early crappy attempts at star photography?

Germer Iluminando
~~~~~
Wouldn't you love to have one of these in your house? It's an old Germer stove, a beautiful work of art. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light capable of producing different colors, and illuminated the interior of the stove as well as the exterior from camera right. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting." Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images. This was photographed while Tim Little and I were teaching a night photography workshop at Nelson Ghost Town in Nevada and Goffs, CA, along Route 66.
