About this limited edition photograph:

The light painted photograph “Blue Velvet” was created at Twin Springs Park in Decorah, Iowa.

To create this light painted photograph I placed my Canon T3i camera on a tripod and I used a long exposure of 363 seconds. I used a powerful spotlight and three different colored gel filters to paint light and color onto the trees, foliage and water. The long exposure gave the water a soft look that reminded me of velvet.

This photograph came off my camera as-is, and involved zero post-processing or Photoshop.
