Alvin Tenpo > Ambient light was provided by a parking lot light. 
Spot light with red gel to highlight the window.

Popped my strobe with blue gel filter on the 
tree branches and leaves.

From experimentation, it seems that a 60 second exposure
at f5.6, ISO 200 is about right for ambient light created 
by a street light.

blue gel filter.

I processed the raw image twice, once for the sign,
then a second time to draw out more exposure to
the background, that created the blue glow around the
sign.  Also increased noise.  

Then combined the two images, added a layer mask then
painted through the layer mask to expose the sign.
Alvin Tenpo > Old barn window.  

Second attempt at light painting.  The exterior was light painted
by a friendly assistant, while I popped a flash inside to paint
the interior.

Red gel filter on a spot light for the exterior.

Using my strobe flash off camera with a blue gel filter, 
I popped multiple flashes to light up the interior.
Alvin Tenpo > Joe's Corner Sign, Niles, Fremont, CA

First attempt at light painting.  Taken in the early morning.
The morning was dark, but there was a lot of ambient light from
street lights.

I used a portable spot light with a red gel filter and painted
the sign.

I didn't know what I was doing really, it was more trial and error.

I heard that Joe's Corner may be revived in the future as a coffee
house.
