Painting with Light

Saturday morning, and for some reason I could not sleep.  So instead of tossing and turning I got dressed and went for a little drive to Wabamum Lake.  Well 80km one way is a little drive in Alberta standards.  I had no plans for a shoot… just something ad hoc.  Since it was still dark at 5am in the morning, I decided to try some light painting. Basically you set the shutter speed to anything about 1 sec.  Then you move the camera while the shutter is open.  This creates some interesting results.  Here are some that I think came out quite well.  Enjoy!
