Pentax k-5, 8mm Rokinon, 144 sec, f3.5 ISO 1600. I am a keen amateur tog and have recently got into light painting. On this camping trip to Betty's Beach, SW of Western Australia I got fed up with my light painting and star trail fails so decided to have some fisheye fun. The result has inspired me to play a lot more, it truly was FUN. The lighting of the foreground is from camping lanterns and wasn't particularly intentional. Comments, criticism welcome.

The image is fabulous. I'm jealous!

My first attempts are full of coloured dots...I need to go study and play.

That's a beautiful image. The illumination of the foreground is really sumptuous.

Light painting is so crazy some time. Lovely image!

Thanks for the comments!

Sounds like hot pixels, try a lower ISO setting that will reduce it somewhat. I have not yet tried image stacking but that will also help a fair bit from examples I have seen.
