    These are amazing David. I like the last two images very much 🙂
    
    If I may ask, how do you create your own light painting toys?

      Thanks Dahlia,
      
      The wands are made with common electrical conduit and fittings – I trill holes or cut slots into it using a small powered saw. I then attached the torch using the universal adapter by light painting brushes.
      
      The light whip was easier – I purchased some 5mm PMMA side glow fibre optic cable from ebay, I used an electrical conduit fitting again (small one that holds my laser pointers snugly), and I glued a 6mm cable gland to the end of it. Put the fire optic in & tightened it, then glued an end cap to the open end so I don’t blind innocent bystanders. Voila.

        Wow, thank you so much David for taking the time to explain this in detail. You put so much work into creating these images and I like your dedication and creativity. Each time it is different and more creative 🙂

  Great abstract images, @dchester1001 !! Your lightpainting toys are awesome :)! I love colour and reflections of the last one!
  
  About lightpainting, I also like very much people of Freezelight, I don’t know if you have seen their works.

      that is awesome Astaroth. I did make a light writer – by gluing a table tennis ball to a conduit connector… haven’t used it much, but I did make Cinderella’s carriage. I need more practice. And time…

  The attendant at the Weight of Light art installation allowed me to indulge in my light painting obsession in the Spring Hill Reservois.
  
  And a new LP tool- the concentrate LED lightstick:
