    I like the Now then one. That's some big writing.

    Keep having fun. That's the best way to learn as once you stop having fun it becomes so much harder to learn the subject.

    This was our second try at night painting - more room to work with. We were on top of a hill for the first one and if the instructor stepped too far back - she would have falled down the hill.

    The hardest part I found was trying to write backwards. I know you can flip the image in photoshop but I wasnt sure if it would give the desired effect.

    Re: Night Painting

    Basically, you set your camera to a very long apature and then press the shutter either remote or via the camera, (Making sure you have it on a tripod and the room is dark) you then take a small light, preferably a mag light or something similar and draw with it. What you draw is up to you but once the camera ends its exposure, you will see a rather nice pic after (hopfully)

    Hope that explains it but if someone can explain better please do.

    Thanks, Andy. That was kind of what I thought you all were doing but not sure. I think you meant to say a long exposure, correct? Kind of like when I took my fireworks pictures. I'm going to give this a try when it warms up or maybe next weekend after dark. I guess I could try my bathroom cause it has no windows and if I shut the door, its completely dark.
    Sounds like fun!

    Yeh that's what I meant. Like you say, it does not have to be outside and it does not have to be completly dark but the darker the better.
