Had forgotten all about this one.
Did it five years ago ...

This is beautiful, the pose so elegant and the light so inviting warm :)

Thank you, Nena !
I was inspired by watching some lightpainting videos from (Canadians) Eric Parré and Kim Henry, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QEZuKFXfWg)
Eric is the photographer and Kim is the artist.
There is just so much more to explore and experiment with this style of image creation.
The circle is such a powerful shape/symbol.

This particular image is done mostly in Photoshop and since it's some 5 years ago now, it must have been CS 5.5.
The (almost) female siluette (the dancer) is DS.

Thanks for the video link, I can understand, why you like his style so much. It's amazing!

And the jump really gives the feeling of motion!

Some of my own feeble attempts at light painting.
This was 7 years ago, so It reflects the level of skill I had with graphic applications and the resorces available.

And - I didn't have any Kim Henry !
None of the potential models spoken to understood what it was all about ...

So it had to be done digitally.

Have you ever tried, as small print? A series of postcards? Invitation cards to yoga? There are so many possibilities.

Not in my country there's not.
But they are there to tickle my fantasy, so you never know what might become of it ..  :)
