You're going to need a tripod or some sort of support for your camera.

Does it have to be something that you physically draw? Or can it be just long night-time exposures of the sort?

Yea... but the anger was generally more towards the long term repercussions of losing my shoe than not being able to use it for this single contest.

Pretty sure that was done in a small wooden boat, I think you can see the shape of one over the water from the light hitting it while he was spinning the light. The stars also indicate that it's at least a minute exposure; making complete sense of how he got there and back in a boat in time.

Let's see some entries!

K so... This picture was taken at my cottage and there's a rock thats like 1cm under water out front. So I just stood on that rock and spun around. To make the sphere you tie a flashlight to the end of a string and spin it and then you spin your self in circles. Then its just a simple long exposure, about 2 or 3 mins. Does that make any sense?

I'm guessing the ball of light is a light on a string, swung around. I just can't figure out the whole water over water thing.

One of my favorite wedding photographers, Jeff Newsom, owns at light painting.
