Coal

An attempt at my get pushed challenge from April, light painting. Take a picture of something in total darkness & paint it with light. I moved the torch diagonally through in both directions from above to get the inside of the shovel. This a 15sec exposure

Beautiful job -- love the warm gold against the dark and the focus is amazing.

This is WONDERFUL, Wendy. I have looked at tutorials on how to do this, but I still don't understand!!!
