Continuing on with this months project of Light Painting I set out to do a few things this week. First I wanted to identify the types of shots I wanted to take and what I thought would make for some cool photos. Second I wanted to scope a few locations and take some test shots to see if what I wanted was possible and if my assumptions were right.
