Here are some examples of a light painting experiment we did in my dining room http://imgur.com/a/vN4ko
I use a Canon but here's my "for dummies"/quickstart guide to light painting:
TIP: if you're working alone, set the self timer to 2 seconds so that you have time to move in front of the lens before the exposure starts*
*TIP: if you set the shutter speed to BULB then it will keep it open for as long as the shutter button is held down. Most remote-shutter releases have a LOCK or HOLD position that is very useful. You can buy a remote for under $10 on amazon. (You don't need to go name brand for this, it's just a button)
TIP If you want to use BULB mode but down have a remote, you can
"hack" it by using tape to keep the button down*
New with a DSLR, I'm going to buy a remote wired shutter release to help me with long exposure shots (startrails, etc), for my Nikon D7100
I see an inexpensive one for $7.50, is that good enough? Is there anything more I should be looking for? The one I'm looking at.
I find wired shutter releases like these much more reliable than IR. www.amazon.com/dp/B005TCJJ9M/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_VA5Xub0DX47BM
I have had nothing but problems with using IR remotes. With IR you will have to sometimes dance around while pressing it to get it to work. A wired or RF release will work MUCH more consistently
