Painted With Light
Uploaded: August 13, 2012
At the Ghost Town Convention we were planning to paint some old buildings with light but rain cancelled those plans.
Instead we moved this old vehicle into an old grain elevator and began to paint with light.
You never quite know what the result will be but I was happy with this image. (It is pitch black when you paint with light and a bit eerie.)
