[Photographer's note: This is another Light Painting example. Sheriff Blakely stood completely still for 15 seconds --the time the shutter was open-- while I "painted" selected areas of the frame with a flashlight. I used a completely manual old Nikkor 50 mm. lens at f/8]](https://photos.smugmug.com/PORTRAITS/i-ZfnCknb/0/f9f0bd97/Ti/MikeBlakelyJN18b-Ti.jpg)
