Light Paintings !!

    I recently (that is yesterday :P) learned a new technique in photography. It is said to be one of the final frontiers for visual art. Basically it uses increased shutter speed of cameras while the 'artist' draws in air with a suitable light source. Light Painting is an in-camera photography technique which is not possible through manipulation of image using computer software. The ideas and creativity in this photography are endless. You literally draw anything!! I am not a good teacher so here are the links to learn this technique :
                                                                        1. Light Painting 'How to' article
                                                                        2. Light Painting (Detailed Info)
    For a pretty good video tutorial.....check out the YouTube link !!
    Now finally my first light paintings :) They may not be that good but I'll improve...
