It was kind of difficult at first, but after a few minutes of practice, it was fun to see strange designs while using different color gels with the flash. On a dark room with a dark background, setup my camera on a tripod and lens on manual focus (about one feet). Shoot on "bulb" and waited for the smoke to get close. Then fired manually my old Vivitar 283 flash on 1/4 power (covering the flash with a different color gel every time), very close to the smoke coming from the incense stick. Set a small flashlight close to the incense burner in order to see the smoke in the darkness. The possibilities are endless.

Try to do my best to give live to a 9 inches long toy car, using a magnalite with color gels and some led lights. Apply extra time with the LED on the headlights to gave a real car lighting.

While experimenting with my own homemade bokeh star shape filter. Notice that the lightpaint will be apply only inside the bokeh. A great application for special effects.

On a homemade turn table, setup two glass decorations and some glitter. Turn the table around for about 10 seconds while light painting from a single source, then stop and light painted the objects just for a few seconds. Press "L" for a large view.
