Painting With Light

This photo started out as an assignment – painting with light, and was taken off a picture hanging on my wall.  The only tools required were a pitch black room and a light source. I was thinking about using a flashlight for this but then tought better of it because the light would have been too large and would have highlighted more than what I wanted.  I noticed a lighter on the table and figured that would be perfect – small enough so that the glare wouldn’t reflect of the glass of the frame. the light trail is the movement of the ligher highlighting the tree in the picture.

Enjoy.
