A light drink

by MeanMachine

My first foray into painting with light. As you can see, I'm not very artistic.

Thanks for the comments. The theory is very simple. The practice, for me, was a case of trial and error until I got a shot that I liked.
To do this compose and focus the picture in normal lighting. Then reduce the lighting so that you can use a long exposure. (This was a 30 sec exposure) I set the camera on a shutter delay. I held a small penlight torch inside the glass and simply 'swirled' it around inside the glass until I heard the shutter close.
I used black card as a background, which made controlling the exposure easier.
