Default First Try at Light Painting

Looking for something fun and creative to do with the kids the other night we decided to try our hand at LIGHT PAINTING. The basic setup was the camera on a tripod set in bulb mode- we shot between f4 and f8 depending on the light source. For lights we used sparklers, glow sticks, and a couple LED flashlights that can do different colors. Some of the Disney Light Toys they have also got some use- I have a strangely impressive collection of these. We also used a speedlight hand held just to freeze the action at times.

Anyway- we took turns at the camera and at the lights. I should have found a better background than the house across the street- oh well- first try. The whole set along with EXIF is HERE.

These are awesome. My gf made me buy sparklers so we could do this over the weekend after she saw it on the web. Too bad my tripod broke.

Fail - FTL that sucks!

I want/need a new tripod cause my old one has been demoted to a light stand and is really too weak to hold the d300 sturdy enough.
