Day 5. This is a vase that we have had for a while, it was sitting upstairs and I like the cracked look of it. I decided to "paint with light". I used a mag light that we have and covered it with with a blue cloth and placed it in the vase. set the camera to 10sec exposure, left the light in the vase for 2 secs, then pulled it out, wrapped the light in a red cloth (quickly of course) and then moved it around to get the red "flame" effect. It took about 30 or so shots to get one that I was comfortable with. This was my first time painting with light. I really like the idea and plan on doing more with it. I'd even like to try some portraiture using a soft light to paint the subject. We will see.
