I'm a member of www.symbianize.com and read there about a way to download Youtube videos using my Nokia 6120c mobile phone for free. Some of the videos I downloaded was about photography. There was one tutorial by a kid about "light painting", which I thought was easy enough to try.
The floating heart was my very first light painting photo.
I waited for the sun to hide then locked myself in my room, used an old Samsonite suitcase as backdropped, set my camera (Canon PowerShot SX110 IS) on a mini-tripod and set it to 15 sec. shutter speed (the lowest setting for the camera), turned off the light, released the shutter, and began painting a heart shape with a small flashlight. Though amateurish, I did not expect it would turn out to be alright.
We had the suitcase for years. It was a given to my father for his trip to America by Mr. Flossman. And the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS was a recent gift from my sister. It is my third digital camera. My second digital camer was a Kodak CX7430, which I sold for P1000. It has a broken LCD display; hence the new camera and selling it cheap.
