This image was made by using light sabers and light-up toys with the barn as a background. My husband wore dark clothes, hat and gloves and kept his head down as he wielded the sabers in the dark. This is a single, long exposure of 57 seconds. Each light had to be kept in motion based on how bright the light was. I liked this pattern the best as the colors were especially vivid. Sharpened slightly in Topaz Detail, and boosted the shadows.

Painting The Town

Description

This title reminds me of the legendary actor & comedian Jerry Lewis who passed away earlier this week. My girls loved his movies, especially his first "At War With The Army" where he mockingly imitates his Sergeant saying..."When I say I'm painting the town... I'm painting the town!"
