This is my first time experience with light painting. I don't own a tripod. However, I could manage to arrange one for this trip. Any suggestions are most welcome. I've uploaded an image which is untouched.
I've only one lens - 18-135mm f 3.5-5.6 (without VR) and the camera used is Nikon D60.
Tripod or a stiff surface is necessary for successful shot in dark. But in other way you can paint great photographs with camera movement also by blurring all details. so tripod is just an option, i suggest.
