Light Painting 2 - Painting object with torch light

DPS Assignment:  "Lighting: One Light (Artificial)"
There are so many ways to create/use artificial lighting and this round I am trying to paint an object in a dark by using a torch light.

Light painting photography - painting objects: Tutorial

How I did the following shots:
  • Settings: A table with black surface, a cheap torch light, tripod, remote control for the camera and the object(s) 
  • Camera settings: Bulb mode, f-stop 22 or higher, ISO-100, Exp 0 or lower... I've even tried Exp -3 and it worked well
  • Execution: Start shooting a long exposure by triggering the camera with the remote control. Paint around the object and shine longer at the places you wish to focus on or be brighter.
  • Try a few shots, shine/wave torch light from different angles (top, bottom, side etc) and try different time. You will be surprised! :)
Note: Both pictures are SOOC
You can even see a little light painting (little swirl) on the top right of the bottle.
Maybe that's what how I was waving the torch light that way at that time
This is 13 seconds long exposure with more emphasis in front

50mm lens     f/22      ISO 100      11 sec      Exp 0

DPS Assignment: Composition - Get down

I've decided to shoot an indoor shot... boring I know.
Too many cute pets shots, outdoor gorgeous sceneries etc... I have no way to top them all.
I don't have very good lighting in my room, so... this is the best I can get.
Here is my "Don't cry over spilled milk" picture:
I've submitted this one although it is not extremely clear
A shallow DOF and my hand add a little dramatic feeling to the shot.

DPS Assignment: Color: Yellow

I have seen many excellent "yellow" shots on DPS this week and got a little panic.
Here's my submission. (1st picture)

Oooo... I see double!
50 mm   f/8    1/40 sec  ISO 1250  Exp 0

I like the POV and the bokeh but hate the nasty dark line. :(

My lamp hanger suddenly looks so interesting!
What a beautiful surprise! :)
