No manipulation camera open 25 sec while Markus painted the sky with the green laser. Not see those, now they will be interesting.

I know, I was only joking about manipulation =)

Although, I personally call such tricks as "analogue photo manipulation". Like making the vignetting by shooting through a hole in the paper. Or fire electronic flash during long exposure multiple times on different positions. Or this kind of "light painting", as I did on HFF group some time ago.

100% light painting but with a laser not a torch not some thing I would have thought to do. I gave Markus the laser so he could see just where he was taking a photo on the tracker then he suggested this........................... the only trick here is 25 seconds long exposure which is normal for me..........

What often puzzles me on such laser light paintings is that on what the light is painted(?) I guess there is enough haze in the atmosphere even when it looks like there are no clouds.
