Not really posting these for C&C yet as I am very much using the technique for fun and relaxation, but I think they are worth sharing and if I can get a few more people to give this a go and enjoy it, then all the better.
For info, they were shot with a D700 and a Sigma 24-70 F2.8.
Settings: Set to manual focus and leave focused on infinity,F8 or F9 mainly, ISO200 [native to camera] and shutter speeds were...well, as long as it took. I used one of FitP's remote triggers to open and close shutter, and I have to say they work very well, even from inside my pocket.
The light sources were two Tesco light sticks, a red and green that come in a pack, a triple LED mag style torch and a longer led torch. This will probably have gels over it next time as I think its a bit too bright in its natural state. Had some willing help from teenage daughter, who also did a few of her own for her Facebook pages [
] and she is now question all the boys at school to track down any unwanted star wars light sabres 
1 - this was basically a test shot to see how well the camera would detect the coloured light sticks but I quite like the effect.
2 - trying out a few ideas for this months poty, not quite refined this one, but the model likes them
3 - I never was very good at drawing - trees and flowers, sort of
4 - A field of Poppies??
Bigger versions are available by clicking on the pictures and there are a ew more on my Flickr photostream.
So, If I can do it, so can anyone, so get out there and have some fun whilst we have longer nights than days
