Light Painting

Lately I've been playing around with long exposures and painting with light.  I like how you can create things that seem entirely different than the mind would expect, and no two images can ever be the same.

Holding a red light in both hands, I made a heart for my Valentine.

This is formed by spinning a lighted wheel on one axis.

I left this one open so you can see how it's done.  That's me spinning it underneath.

This is not light painting at all--just an extension cord lying on the ground.
