Light Drawing
or
Light Graffiti
I took this picture while camping. Its my Girlfriends daughter. She's busting one of her "modeling" poses. This ones mellow thankfully.
The blue light is her great uncle walking by on his way to the bathroom. I pressed the button, then hustled over with the flash light to freestyle the light drawing. You can see the shutter closed mid Halo.
EDIT, Answer for "mi.c.hael"
SHIT NO !!!! thats not photography !! :) I use CS2, but I am very
against adding elements that were not there.
I had her stand extremely still. Its a 30 second shutter if I
remember. The ONLY photoshop element is my watermark. I didnt even
tweak levels or contrast.
I took the flash light and ran it around her entire body at a
angle from the side so she would be that "low key". It also
helps it appear that the light is actually glowing.
I had to cup my hand on the lens end of the flash light so that it
wouldnt be visable to the camera.
Then, I did the outline with nothing there to trace. I also
started and ended the out line with the flashlight pointing to the
ground and panned it towards camera. Thats why the ground looks like
there is a pool of light.

Wow, this is just amazing. I actually think it works better with the partial-halo too. I wanted to thank you for releasing this photo; I've used it at my blog Alphabet Soup Kitchen with full attribution and a link. Again, thank you.

This is a stunning photograph! Thanks for sharing it. I have played with light graffiti a few times and find the results really rewarding. I have some tips at my site www.great-photography-tips.com/Photography-Tips-Light-Painting.html.
