For this weeks Lens Artist Challenge by Sofia, Day and Night, I looked back to one of my early blog posts from 2014, Nighttime is the Lighttime and my first attempts at Light Painting Photography.
As you will read if you open the link this was in response to a Weekly Photo Challenge, which I know many of you who enjoy contributing to the Lens Artists challenges were part of in those days. This one was titled Nighttime, and in the spirit of the challenge I quietly got out of bed and took this photo of the sunflowers on our deck at 3:30 in the morning using a technique that I eventually became more proficient at. ( I should add that I wasn’t quite quiet enough it seemed as both my wife and the cat were not very impressed at being disturbed in the middle of the night.)
The following morning I took this photo of the sunflowers in the morning sunshine, and even added a voting link to my post for visitors to choose their preference; the light painting won out.
A couple of light paintings with which to finish and a link to the process by which they were created:

Beautiful photos. I especially like the two last images. The light painting is so subtle and artistic.

Fabulous lighting Andrew and a creative display for Day and Night. I can only imagine your wife and cat staring at you from a window at 3 in the morning. Too funny. A nice gallery, intersect light painting.
