The theme for the light painting photography contest for the months of November/December is to create a light painting image using only ONE SINGLE UNMODIFIED FLASHLIGHT. For this contest we are getting back to the basics. You can create anything that you would like portrait, graffiti, landscape, etc…. but it must be created with just ONE SINGLE UNMODIFIED FLASHLIGHT. This light painting contest was put forth by the great Patrick Rochon with the idea that the single light will “push the artist to be creative all using the same tool”.

Submit your images to contest(at)lightpaintingphotography.com by the 21th of December a.k.a THE END OF THE WORLD… to win your LPP prize pack and a featured post on the website! Please remember to follow the THEME of the contest and resize your images to 600 pixels on the longest side and 72 dpi. If you do not follow the theme of the contest your image will not be accepted, and as always no F#@&*! photoshop.

Here are a few examples from Janne Parviainen, Lightmark, and Quentin Bischoff.

St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, has a long history and reputation for being haunted.
