Painting with light night shots.

[kansasvmax94]

Please post your shots from night painting with light. Long exposure times, etc. Making art with RC planes, lights, and photography. This is a response thread to Rexican's article on "Painting with Light".

I took these shots of a friend's Neptune flying wing by Techone from NitroPlanes.com that he decked out with LEDs. Shots were taken at the last light of the evening. Probably 5-10 minutes before the sky became totally dark. 30 Second long exposure on tripod with a pretty wide angle camera lense.

Oddly enough this is not done often.....supremely awesome man! Got me looking through my B&H catalog now though.

Thanks pgerts and lonewolf. I just got into RC about 8 months ago but have been struggling with a photography addiction for years!

Very Nice !
Here are some of my tricopter. Still have a lot to learn.
Sony a230 , manual mode, f5, iso100, 25 sec. exposure
I need to fly further away from camera.

I haven't tried night flying yet, but long exposure is also great for taking pictures of lightening at night.

Lightning and fireworks! I have quite a few good shots, but not on this computer...

I've done this before at fourth of July parties with friends, but never with an RC. Always with sparklers and glow sticks. This is a MUST TRY. I want to do a 1-2 minute shutter speed at night and do some 3d while the picture is being taken. You could get some VERY cool corkscrews.

You guys got me all exited now. I'm off to make a versa wing and buy some new LED's.

Awesome shots!

Needless to say...seeing photography like this truly gives me the desire to get off my butt and do some night light painting! Haven't done it with my quad yet...but here's my first attempt! I need to get out to my folks property where there's a lot more space!
