Continuing my quest for all things Union Jack’ish tonight I found a T-Shirt.  Unfortunately it didn’t fit me so Abi kindly agreed to model the item for a light painting picture.  Now the trouble with light painting is that you have to take a 30 second exposure, and it’s pretty hard to stay still for that length of time. (Go on, try it – no blinking, sniffing, moving – nothing).

Abi did pretty well, she sat there in the dark while I waved a flashlight all over her.  She got about 20 seconds in and started to laugh.  As a result this is definitely not the sharpest image I’ve ever taken, but I’m calling it deliberate soft focus.

Anyway I think she did great and now totally understand why you don’t take light painting pictures of people.

Incidentally I asked Lisa tonight how many things we have that have a Union Jack on them – there are LOADS.  However I’m definitely getting  board of this subject matter, and will possibly try something different tomorrow.

In case you didn’t know, Lisa is into card making and when I got home from work I found the Halo dudes busy at work!  Who knew they were so creative?
