Greetings of Illum, I wish to share tips and tricks how to write on walls difficult inscriptions. I use a chalk. For an example a card in which I used a chalk - www.flickr.com/photos/churkinms/2466527107/in/set-7215760... The green arrow more exactly also is more correct than white because I on a wall have drawn a chalk a correct arrow, and for white I did not draw

my technique is about the same as yours, writing backwards.
however, one trick i've come up with is using a secondary tripod next to my writing to gauge the height.
i use one of these with a telescoping post and use the clamps as guides for the tops and bottoms of letters and pictures.

Great stuff... I can't wait to try. I normally stand with my back to the camera and point the light at the camera.

Use the iPhone App 'Penki'! It produces 3D letters made from light and looks pretty good.

I have Energizer light sticks. I also stand with my back to the camera but hold the light sticks in the way like a pencil. The camera picks up the back of the glowstick and it works.

I find drawing letters backwards facing the camera to have the best look. It's hard since you do write backwards, but it's not that hard to try over and over to get it right.
As far as what Illum said about flipping the photograph afterwards, in my opinion that would kill any soul that the light painting had to begin with. It just shows laziness or unwillingness to try extra hard to achieve something that may not be simple to begin with. Everyone can be their own person, but real light junkies should have a pull towards leaving photos straight out of camera, sooc.
Here is a one liner drawing i did yesterday and the video.

TCB you and your friends have some awesome handwriting skills there, really loving the piece with the light changing pen.
As far as I can go contributing, I've only got a few letters I like, been working on making an alphabet for a while, but someone went and broke the tool I had :/

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm completely new to Light Painting, literally one week into it, but thanks to this I managed to successfully 'write' last night. It's not pretty or particularly brilliant, but it's a start and I'm excited to try more :-)

I had never heard of / thought of the writing on the wall technique. Definitely worth a go. I'm with tcb - practice practice and the backwards writing gets a lot easier. I find it helps to take your time - find the darker areas and it gives you more time to think without worrying about a blown shot or light pollution.
And...just to show off a bit... light calligraphy! Still haven't been able to find 'junkies' so if anyone has any thoughts or could flickrmail the character to me...
