Hi. =)

At the LIGHTS FROM DREAMS blog we have just wrote a simple post about how to create a Light Painting by taking several photos and then stacking them together.

You can read it here:

...to learn how to stack photos together and see how we made this photo:

I would love to know what you think about it.
Thanks!

That looks pretty good! Thanks for posting it.

Thanks. We had lots of fun shooting it. We have "drawn" many different things breaking us apart, from axes to flowers and atomic explosions, and we always had to laugh when we saw it on the back of the camera.

Also, thanks for those links, they are quite nice!
=)
