Painting with light is something I have experimented with in the past but never really delved as far deep into as I have been wanting to. I gathered up some supplies, including a light bar I purchased almost a year ago and got to playing around. The first night was a full moon, I highly recommend waiting for a new moon. You want as little outside light pollution as possible. Other supplies needed is string lights, Gaffer tape, some sort of straight piece of wood, sparklers and water, a tripod and any camera you can set to manual.

The first attempts were with the light bar. I really like how the lines of the dock draw you in. I will be heading back to hone in on the ideas I have for this spot.

The second attempt is a much darker night in a more secluded area. I knew I was going to be playing with fire (literally) so I needed a more private and open area.

These are the very beginning stages of my light painting journey and I think it will be fun to look back on these and see how I progress forward. I will say quarantine life sure is good for giving me the kick in the arse to do all the things I have been putting off.
