Painting with Light

[Deckyon]

This is a fun technique I have been experimenting with. This is the best of the shots I have done so far. The telescope belongs to a local astronomy club. I had help with the flashlights. The tripod was painted with a RED LED light and the scope was painted with a white LED light. Take note of the visible starfield in the background The trees are more than 100 yards off, so the light fell off great...

I did one of a dragster one time on film a couple years back...you just inspired me to find that neg.

This is very imaginative and very, very beautiful.

You might (just a hunch) try to play with the brightness and contrast of the starfield to see whther even more can be done to set it out from the trees & telescope while retaining an overal night feel.

That siad this is good enough for me. Just a beauty. Punch holes in the stars, put the rest on transparent film, and fall to sleep under a stary sky.
