About Light Painting Competitions and Themes

Following the success of the Light Painters 2010 Olympics setup by BlaisOne at:
2010 Light Painting Olympics

This group has been formed for fun. Its all about everyone getting together and having a good time. The idea of the competitions is to set the Light Painting community some themes and challenges and encourage creativity and interaction. This is a great opportunity to try new Light Painting techniques and participation in the group. We are a friendly and helpful group of people if you are unsure or you need advice please ask.

Light painting, light drawing or light graffiti is the creation of photos usually at night by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera. Light sources can be torches, LED's, glowsticks, cathodes etc.

Please checkout Light Junkies for great photos, advice and tutorials.
