Painting with light often requires very long shutter speeds and an excess of darkness. Being somewhat limited in the first part of that requirement, I took this image with a Canon 50D and an 18-200mm lens at 18mm. I wanted nothing but the painted portion of my photo showing and with my camera at the best settings possible I was only able to release the shutter for 13 seconds before it started letting in distracting background images. My aperture was set at f/22 and ISO at 100. Initially I wanted to write the name of the company (Off Balance Photography) but with only 13 seconds and trying to write backwards I could not get the name done in time. I decided in the end to simplify my image and came up with the picture above.
