About the Image(s)

I have often wanted to make light drawings in interesting or inaccessible spaces. The smoldering ruins of the NVF factory in Yorklyn, Delaware, was artistically attractive but officials didn't allow access over the fallen materials and embers.
Light drawings are images made by a light source aimed directly at the camera. On the other hand, light painting is using light sources to shine on surfaces which then reflect the scene to the camera.
My light drawing images are made with a tripod mounted camera set to f8 or f/11 with the shutter set to Bulb and controlled with a wireless remote. Using the remote allows me to be 10-30 feet from the camera and use various shapes/colors/combinations of LED light devices to draw the image.
Photoshop allows combining a light drawing made against a black background with a conventional image by setting the light drawing layer mode to 'Lighten'. I took three different light drawing technique images and layered them on a darkened version of the smoldering factory ruin to create a sampler of light drawings just as my grandmother may have stitched a sampler of her needlework.
The spherical light drawing was made with a motorized rig I built to create circles as I move the spinning apparatus through 180 degrees to visually create a sphere. LED dog collar lights and burning sparklers were attached to the apparatus arms as the light sources.
