Day 005 - Light painting

OK. So I scraped the barrel here. I got in very late from work and didn't take my camera and I was determined not to put another iPhone photo up. So I quickly grabbed my SLR with only a few minutes to go until midnight - note the clock on the wall - I took a picture with my torch.

I've never done this before so i'm venturing into new territory but I enjoyed it. This was the second frame of about 5 I did and it came out OK. The only thing I did to it was tweak the contrast a little. Think I might have to try it again and play around with settings, and to get better at writing more creative letters and words!

(The reason the time is shown to the right as the 6th and 12:50am is because my camera date and time don't auto correct for the British Daylight Saving Time, but I did take it on the 5th :)
Light painting is great. I don't worry too much if a photo isn't taken on the exact day.

It looks like you have no arms! Nice experiment. And I obsess just as must as you about the time stamp, taking the pic on the right day, and so forth. Otherwise you'd never have done this shot!

@jmrittle I agree...I do think it should be 'a photo a day' so I am going to try and stay disciplined. Makes it more of a challenge and more interesting I think. Rather than taking a series and using up say a weeks worth of days!
