Believe it or not this is my first try painting with light. Not sure why it took me so long to give it a try.
I used a bike LED light. 20 second exposure. iso 100. f/13. 10mm (hence the warping in)
The star burst under the 'h' is the moon. I should have time it right so it could be the dot of my 'i'
The streak above the 'ago' is an airplane.
Need to try this some more when it's not 28F out. Fingers are now crunchy.

I immediately setup my camera to record some time-lapse video after snapping this. You can view the video here - vimeo.com/36113772

Even with all the light pollution I noticed you can actually see a decent amount of stars out tonight so I grabbed my camera and went to my roof and this is what I ended up doing. It was extremely windy so it was a challenge to stand still for the long exposure.

I plan to redo this when it's not January and crazy windy in Chicago.
I also thought of a new sunrise time lapse video idea that I can't wait to do once it warms up a bit.

I'm holding my iPhone.

Canon 7D - Sigma 8mm Fish eye, 15 second exposure.
