Dear Diary…Early this morning, around 3:30 am, in response to Ben Huberman’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime, I decided to attempt my first Light Painting photography.
Subject: Sunflowers on the kitchen deck featured this week in From Seed To Sky.
Requirements:
- My Pentax Kr DSLR
- Infra red wireless shutter release (newly bought, and so worth it)
- Tripod
- Confused cat (not expected)
- Disturbed wife (also not expected)
Result…well, you can decide comparing the same sunflowers in this morning’s sunshine…

Plan: Early night after the final season opener of Boardwalk Empire.
Gorgeous shot, I love the complimentary colors š
