To break up some of the Astro work as good as it is, lets share your amazing light painting photos...lets see what you've got (y) from light stencils to wire wool and every bit in between...

I'll kick off proceedings with a couple of my own favourites

It's nice to see that your getting into the wonders of light painting, you've a nice location for the wirewool, but it's always best to avoid moving the burning spinner, far better end the exposure and then retrieve the spinner
 
Thanks for the great tip, I am hoping to get out again next weekend in some different locations.

I assume you mean leave it on the floor until the exposure ends??

Yeah leave it behind where you were spinning from in relation to your camera then it will not be seen, what were you using as your spinner?
 
These are lovely guys!

That is a fantastic idea Martin, I may have to try that one myself at some point in the future as I love the effect, I hope to see you doing it somewhere a little more interesting soon as I thing that has a lot of potential as a technique
 
Thanks Matt, it was very windy so just gave it a garden spin out of the wind. I will give it a go in more interesting locations when the wind calms down again, and wear my black out clothing.

Here's a silly one I kept from my College Course a few years back.

 
An old one from me:

We did some light painting with our Scouts over the last couple of nights. On Wednesday we were out under the moon on bonfire night. Thursday (tonight) was indoors with three cameras in one hall.

Here are some shots done by the scouts (as many as six per shot) using mostly glow sticks.

This was done by three lads with no adult help using my Olympus Xz-1 compact they are into togging and one does light painting with his dad.

There were three of us having a go on the night, but experience was at novice level and as it was bloomin' cold we had to give up before we mastered our orbing and painting techniques.
 
Actually did a little bit of light painting myself the other night to celebrate my birthday present to myself finally being hung on the wall...a signed print from a friend in the states...hence the red, white and blue

But it's something a little out of the ordinary from a light painting standpoint :D
