Kumod, you REEEAAALLLY got me goin' with that "boots" photo! I was really scratching my head trying to figure out how you got the boots illuminated AND the light painting. Then, it dawned on me... You said you took the cap off the flashlight! Of course! THAT'S what illuminated the boots AND caused the light show! So... I played with that a little and came up with the first photo. I have a pen that has an LED flashlight and a laser pointer. So, at the start of the timer, I briefly lit up the camel with the flashlight part and then used the laser pointer to create the red part. Have a look:

Brilliant Gary, Were you stood behind the camera when you drew your light pattern?

I really must try this, but I first need to find the right pen light.
I dont think my 3million candle light power torch would give the right effect!! :D

Just to the right of it, Andy. The torch I used, BTW, had batteries that were half-dead and I only use the white light for possibly a second until I started the motion with the laser pointer.
