I'm always in the Anderson/Clemson area. Nice to see the members representing the upstate.The moon shot was shot with the Canon 55-250mm IS lens.
Settings:1/500 sec shutter, f/8, ISO 100.
I used the famous nifty fifty (canon 50mm f/1.8) for all the other shots.
Both of those lens are about as inexpensive as you can get while still getting pretty good quality. I think the 50mm lens was 80 dollars and the 55-250mm was like 200 so if you are looking for an cheap setup then those are good choices. However, I really need a wider lens so I don't have to be so far away from what I'm taking a picture of. Not sure which one I will get next though so if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear it.

Nice shots of the Vette. Were you using the built in flash at night?
...as for the "Kitty ****"... that cat needs to get a room. I had a Ex-Girlfriend that had the same problem every time a camera was pointed her direction!

I didnt use a flash for the car shots. I used a brinkman 1Watt led flashlight and set the shutter speed to 30 seconds. Then just walked around the car shining the light onto it.
bluestreak63, I put the lens and the settings in post 26.

Haven't seen anyone light painting in quite awhile. The early digital chips did NOT like long exposures. Anything over about 4 seconds would pick up major digital noise so the long exposures needed to light paint were not that achievable. The current chips are really a big improvement. The Nikon D700 & D5 can shoot available light at ISO 25000 with great results!
Makes me want to dig out some old equipment and start painting again. Maybe you have started another new (old) trend!

Nice job! Thats called light painting and was real hot back in the 90's in the pro ranks. Some real expensive equipment was sold to pro photographers to achieve this. A photographer by the name of Aaron Jones came up with a fiber optic devise called "hosemaster" and made lots of money selling it to pros. You have achieved the same results with a flashlight! Digital makes this a bit easier than shooting ektachrome back in the day. A lot can be done in post production to color correct and retouch hotspots.
