Tulip - Painted with Light

Trying my hand with "painting with light" - using a small mag-light flashlight in the only room that could be completely dark (the bathroom "studio"). I taped a black cloth on the wall, as otherwise the walls were way to reflective for this shot.

That black cloth worked perfectly! I use the bathroom for photography a lot! Wonderful clear focus here! fav

Very nice study of tulips. The light painting has given a nice shine to the petals and stem.

Great contrast.

absolutely love the depth of colour.. the soft light has brought out the striations in the petals, giving the form as well as shape.. great use of dark ground too..

Superb lowkey shot! Once I found out that light painting trick I was in heaven! Love that technique!

@danette @jorlam @jesperani @louschmoo Thank you all so much, your comments always inspire me.

@cjphoto thanks...now I have to work on how do do stuff just with the light itself...next personal challenge.

Well, you are overflowing with ideas.... great to see. This has worked very well. Good idea to use a black backdrop... looks good and is less likely to reflect any light that accidentally gets splashed onto it
