Light Painting Techniques

As you can see in these photos, the results can vary depending on how you "paint" with light. All of these photos used a LED light with red, green & blue. The different effects depend on how fast you move the light, in what direction and if the lights were steady or blinking. To get a wave effect, move the lights up and down as you move across the background. To get the spiral, move the lights up in an arc then rapidly move them in a circle. It's fun to experiment!
