What's the focal length in use on them?

They look a bit barrelly to me.  As wide as the lens goes?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

the first and 3rd are at 11mm on the tokina which i think performed well at that length in terms of distortion, the second was at 18 on the nikon 18-105

The joys of lightpainting!

Some really good efforts there, I would say watch out for the hotspots its one of those things that still gets me when im shooting these type of shots. Its all trial and error to get a nice flat clean 'lit' surface

how far away was the light source? The trick is playing with different shutter speeds ive found, I think most of the time I would use something like 1/160 which helps cut the hotspots down. The only other cc i can really give is watch out for the shadows with the front end shot there is alot of shadow on the floor could use a couple more shots to light the floor at the front :)

But keep it up looks like your getting the hang of it :)

Would it not also help to use either a big diffuser or fire into an umbrella to soften the light so you don't get hot spots?

Ive tried using some umbrellas but found that the light was too soft, but again its one of those things I may try again and just see what results I get  :smiley:
