    Luminous Graffiti

    Another one of my keychain signatures....initials have to do because I cant write my name backwards along with "was here" in under 15 seconds...maybe when I can do this on a bulb setting or 30 second exposure I can write longer messages.

    ISO 100 or 200, cant remember which

    Re: Luminous Graffiti

    Very nice. I have tried this a few time but never with as nice of results as you are getting. Have you tried writing left to right and flipping in photoshop or is that cheating?
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Yes, light panting, it's a fun technique. I've attempted it before at the Don Valley Brickworks with some help.

    That's cheating

    I wish they'd make a compact digital with a bulb setting so I could write my full name, or draw stuff.

    Re: Luminous Graffiti

    Would writing the first half, then the second half, and then combining it in photoshop be cheating? (This from Ms. Anti-Digital....)

    May as well take the paintbrush tool and draw your sig afterwards....practice writing sdrawkcab, it took me about 5 failures for this one shot, took about 5 tries for my SF shot and I still messed up, about 4 tries for my footbridge shot, patience :aureola:
