@colie challenged me to take a photo which involves "some form of light
painting".
First I tried standing in the dark with a torch and making shapes - wasn't very successful. I'm more pleased with my second attempt where I photographed a violin in the dark and used my torch to light just one edge of it. Looks better large.

@colie Thank you for the challenge - really enjoyed working out how to alter my camera settings and discovering just how much light was needed from my torch. It's a bit dark but I think I like that.

Got a great picture in my mind of you standing in the dark waving a torch around!! LOL. This is a great shot, love how dark the edges are.

Great shot with a torch. Very atmospherical! I thought that light painting was something different (see my pic of 22 and 23 May) so your torch has enlightend my ideas about light painting :)

@stimuloog wow - those are fabulous (in fact I remember them). I tried that and it was worse than rubbish. I'll experiment again.

Light painting is fascinating to me. I'm impressed that you did just fine on your first attempts. Very nice low light mood to this.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

What gorgeous soft tones and colours. Very nice indeed.

@ikamera Thank you - it took me quite a long time.

Beautiful lighting and composition! A job very well done!

[Rachel]

This is a wonderful shot, very atmospheric and stunning light. Love it

[Cazla]

I really like the low light in this, very atmospheric and a good choice of subject for it.

[Sue Rose]

The touch of light along the edge of the violin works perfectly and creates a beautifully low key shot with a lovely mood to it. Well done you!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Very mysterious. :)

[Jennifer]

Great low light shot, I love that there's just enough to see what it is but leaves a lot to the imagination too.

[Paula W]

Subtle and artistic this works so well. Did anyone see you standing in the dark waving your torch?

[Carol W]

I love that detail on the scroll and pegs of the violin. Great low-light shot, well done you!

[Mary]

Very nice shot. Enough light to present the details.

[☠northy]

beautiful low light shot!

[John L]

Great experiment.

[colie (Nichole Stewart)]

Love it! Gorgeous light and comp!

@colie Thanks and many thanks again for the challenge. Going to try waving a torch around again tonight.
