And the winner is light painter Gustavo Mercerat for his image “Guardian of the Underworld”.

View more of Gustavo’s work on his website www.intifotografie.com. With over 900 votes in the November contest it took some time to count them all and narrow it down to the top 3 picks. Then there was some heated debate between the 3 judges and the final vote was 2-1 for Gustavo’s image…. The contest series is growing every month with participants and prizes! We have just picked up another sponsor to add more to the prize packs and have a few other items from light painting artist Nocturne for December! Check out next months contest theme HERE….

Chris will receive the HP17, a 575 Lumen monster with Coast’s Pure Beam Focusing Optic System with Fingertip Speed Focus Control.

Light Painting Contest, 3 Weeks Left
Light painting photography has been very lucky to have the best flashlight company on earth sponsoring the contest series for the last few months. A short time ago the folks over at COAST had the idea of doing a light painting contest incorporating the company logo. The winner will not only receive a brand new, hot off the line HP17 (530 Lumens, with Finger Tip Speed Focus) but you will also win the opportunity for your image to possibly be featured in an international online/print advertising campaign. This is an excellent opportunity for your work to receive tons of exposure!
The theme is this, you must use the COAST logo within your light painting composition. The high resolution Coast logo can be found below. Please note that you do NOT have to use red as the predominant color.
This contest is going to run for two months to give everyone plenty of time to get out there and create the absolute best image you can come up with. The light painting community contains some of the most innovative minds out there and we need to see some mind bending S@#* for this one.
