This week I made an attempt at a technique called light painting, which combines a long exposure with running a light source over the subject to illuminate it. It didn't quite work the way I was expecting though, so instead this is another composite of different sections of the tree lit up by my flash unit and combined afterwards. I'll probably try and revisit the concept again in a future week but it was a good learning experience in the meantime, with valuable insights such as "make sure the flash is pointing the right way to get the signal from the camera." Special thanks to Abby for helping me make sure my camera didn't get stolen in the process of shooting at night in Seven Hills.
