Long exposure images are actually quite simple. It’s all about controlling the amount of time the camera sensor “sees” the world. While stationary subjects remain unchanged regardless of the shutter speed, subjects in motion start to reveal more movement as the exposure time increases. This creates a captivating contrast between sharpness and blur, resulting in images that evoke a sense of fantasy and reality combined. In the case of Light Painting, the light is the subject in motion and the end result is the path the light took during the exposure.

These are my first few test, done with a green Glow stick. Writing is tricky because you need to mirror your writing ... without seeing the result instantly.
Few year after I went to Boston and I wanted to take night photographs and play around with long exposure. This one is the Leverett Circle Connector Bridge.
In Boston I tried taking a night shots while we were in front of the camera for part of the exposure to give myself and a friend transparency.
This Is probably my favorite spot for night photography : Mont-Megantic Dark-Sky Reserve.
These were done with a sparkler candles!
Me and my friend made a RGB long stick and we took photo by walking or running around with it.
The contraption was janky but the results exceeded our expectations.
We used that light contraption back home in Laval for one last time, in a park. Top left shot was done with a swing.
