Movement with the lights off creates the EL wire trails and then the figures are painted into the image with a flashlight. I don't think it would be possible to get everything to register with multiple exposures. I don't know if second curtain flash would work; I suspect the differences in light levels and colour balance would be a problem. DaveMc Pete,

I'm a 64 years old amateur and I remembered hearing about light painting and I saw a couple of light painting in those days, but they weren't as good as yours. Believe me! I'm impressed by your work. Congratulation! And keep the good work up. Your new fan. Armando Deleon. Hello, young lads.

The skaters skates to a spot while the ambient lights are off and only the EL wire is on. During this time you take a photo as slow exposure my guess is 5-10 seconds there about. Then what happens? You look at the exposed photo and determine where the skater should pose. And take another photo but this time paint the skater with a flash light for another 10 seconds. Is the double exposure merged in camera, or in post? Have you tried using a flash set to second curtain instead?</p> Let me try to understand this.

Make sure you don't light yourself and you wont show up in the image - just keep the light pointed away from your body. It's as simple as that really :)</p> Thanks.

They move to leave the light trails, but for the final figure images they take a static pose. If lit quickly enough the appear reasonably sharp.</p> Thanks Tim, The simple answer is that they’re not moving when they’re lit into the image.

I am new to light painting and was wondering how you got a moving subject to photograph crystal clear.
