Painting in the air… so much fun, cheap and easy to do. Here’s how: Now you can probably see my 3 year old daughter’s feet in the pic below whilst her big 6 year old brother manages to go a bit higher with the blue/yellow combo. I made this image on the weekend using colour changing LED glowsticks (you can get these on ebay or the address below) and a 6 second exposure (Nikon D70). I’ve since made a neat few wallpaper desktops with this effect (will post them later when I have a spare sec to edit them to the right size).
Cheap LED glowsticks for under $10 can be found from companies like this:

or you can try Ebay:

Thanks for the tips. I was wonder how people created fluid script like text. I have been experimenting with light painting and tried several shots using glow sticks when I was out camping at the beach. I think they turned out pretty good. http://www.thismarvelouslife.com/2009/08/fun-with-glow-sticks/
They have a 6 pack for $34.00 or something at walgreens, only online though. Just thought I’d lt you know, because thats a good deal for 6 of them…
