Cactus Light Paintings

These two cactus light paintings were made in my back yard using a potted variety cactus. The technique is to expose the picture for 30 seconds with the lens aperature closed small enough to capture only the light of a flashlight that I use to paint parts of the picture. The third picture is a few colored glasses that I have.
