Last night I decided to have some fun and play around with light painting once again. I love how easy it is to do and you have instant gratification on the results (assuming you’re using a digital SLR). No post-production editing, no rendering, no file transcoding. Just flip through the images directly on the camera. All you need is an SLR camera and some LED lights (and glow sticks for fun if you want to get really creative!)

Someday soon, I’ll have to post the pictures from my first session with light painting. For now, enjoy fun times #2:

This sprint commercial was my original inspiration for trying light painting. Check it out:

Jacob "Boom Shadow" Tirey

A linux web hosting administrator, a professional production sound man, and a renegade cop without nothing left to lose.... Ok, that last part is made up. In all seriousness, my passion in life is to help people; whether that be with help running their sites or with their productions. The name Boom Shadow was given to me by a great group of filmmakers called Star Wipe Films. back in 2005 and has been with me since. One of these days, I will post the full story, and many more, here. As a side note, I love my mac for video editing, my CentOS for web hosting, and my Windows box for Stepmania. Don't give me any OS hate, cause I don't care :P Also, nano is still the bomb!
