First of all: Avoid pointing the a bright light directly at the lens (unless you like lens flare). This is one reason I tried to diffuse the light a bit.

The first step of the process is lighting the scene - that involves keeping the light itself out of the frame - and not lighting anything you don't want to see. The cool thing about having a moving lightsource is that you can light up areas that may otherwise be in shadow -so you can get a hyper-real effect sometimes.

The part where the "paint" is the light itself is just trial and error and keep in mind where the camera is in relation to your subject. Timing is essential though and having a steady hand helps too.

Originally posted by Citadel: I really like when my early predictions are accurate. Congrats on the blue! I'd like to hear more about how you painted this. (like what angle etc) Well done!

Definitely a cool image. You could almost create a template of something like this and put in whatever you wanted.

I'm at work so I can't look.
But my gut reaction is that I like it because my internal programming told me to.
