It was cold and rainy in Canberra tonight, and instead of heading out into the city to take some nightclub/crazy party people shots like I was thinking of doing, I tried something else so that I could keep my lovely camera dry and safe. “Light writing” is the art of taking a long exposure shot while “writing” in the frame using a bright light source. In these shots I’m using coloured micro-LEDs I got sent from Hong Kong for this very purpose. 
These are my first attempts to do light writing, and I’m sure I’ll get better at it with a little more practice.
