Just a regular small LED flashlight. The trick is that I used Live Composite mode that as far as I know is only available in Olympus mirrorless cameras. It allows me to keep painting until I am happy with the result (I can see the progress on the camera's back screen or on my phone if I connect it wirelessly) while the background stays exactly the same and does not get any brighter. Very convenient mode for light painting. I just used it for fireworks, also piece of cake.

I'm feeling an imbalance. Too much from the bottom of the scene.

Can you get any closer, Lev? (I photographed that temple for the Saints before they sanctified it).

Striking! I'm trying to figure out where the light came from.

Well-done -- I would not have recognized this as a composite without your welcome explanation.

To me it looks like the view from the top of a bizarre water-slide. :-)
