Challenge: Painting With Light II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70s
Location: Moms House
Date: Feb 26, 2006
Aperture: f8
ISO: 400
Shutter: bulb
Date Uploaded: Feb 27, 2006

 Mom and I made my room dark and she showed me how to set the shutter to stay open. I held the remote, set up the camera, and directed my mom with the flashlight. She painted me with the flashlight until I said stop, and then she made the lightball because I wasnt tall enough to get it into the basket.

This is an interesting attempt with decent color and good black to white balance that meets the challenge in a different way from many. General image quality is good. The net result, however, is a "busy" image that appears more like a random error than a purposeful effect. The area in the bottom middle part of the image needs something of interest to better balance the picture. Viewers, like me, will have no idea what is in the lower left corner and will find that to be a distraction.

A great picture has everything carefully planned and thought out and controlled and there are zero distractions. Nothing is included that does not directly support whatever the photographer wants the viewer to get from the image. The old 198os movie, "Back to the Future", is a great example of this concept. No matter how many times you watch it you will always discover more and more tie-ins from one part of the movie to another. There isn't a single thing that happens in that movie that does not tie into later action. That is how good photographs should be to.
