Early in 2009, I decided to capture an image every calendar day for an entire year. 365 days later, I have more gray hair, have aged a decade and alienated loved ones, but I did it and, most importantly, I didn’t miss a single day. Comments and criticisms are welcomed, both on composition and technique, and on content. Thanks for looking.

Tattoo You (Day 281)

Decided to try my hand at light painting tonight at my friend Bob’s studio. This was one of my first efforts and it had a tribal tattoo vibe to it that I really liked.

This is a single shot right out of the camera; no post other than cropping. The light source was a cheap flashlight, which worked in my favor as it helped create the inconsistent tubular light streaks. The flare in the middle was were the flashlight beam hit the camera sensor straight on.

To create, I placed my Canon G10 on a tripod, set up a 15 second exposure, clicked off the self-timer, ran into position and, once the shutter opened, waved the flashlight like mad.

To see a less abstract light painting that I did a few shots later, click <a href="http://www.nawset.com/gallery/7350034_Cbef6#680008029_3y5aE">here</a>.
