Creating light painting images with a digital camera
Light painting photographs are the long exposure photographs with exposure time of more than 1 second with camera made to swirl quickly in front a light or a string of lights.

A SIMPLE light painting image should be shot with little or no ambient light and the light source should be a medium bright light or the festival lights.

The camera may be set at f3.5 or f4.0 and with an exposure time a few seconds. Stand in dark and set camera on the source(s) of light and press the shutter release while systematically swirling the camera. The streaks of light from the source(s) of light will produce painting effects.

You can swirl, spin, twirl, loop or move the camera in wave-like or zigzag fashion to get different effects.

Thus, intentional and systematic camera-shake to give the image of sources of light is a unique and artistic effect. Try it out, you may love it.
