Blue Jays is not playing in TO, so the roof of Roger Centre (Skydome) should be closed.
:D
as of 430pm Thursday... the weather for tomorrow will be mainly sunny with SE wind @ 10/km

The thing about light painting is that you don't want light pollution so it's easier to have many cameras and only one painter at a time so you really don't need to bring much, a laser pointer with a happy face is rather fun. Flashlights with some colour gels (in a pinch you can use those coloured cellophane candy wrappers) is all you really need.

Sign up and come out are the only requirements.

More than welcome to come.

All I've got with me so far is a little mini flashlight and some gels but anything bright would do. Experimentation is half the fun. :)

I'm going to drop by the dollar store on my way to the ferry and see what else they have. Pam had some great little LED lights last event and her pics turned out great.

I got a few more little led lights and I'm happy to share. I also found some sparklers.

I'd bring the parasol I had for the defying gravity but lacquer + sparklers=ambulance ride. So keeping it simple.

Yeah, you don't need a lot like Metrix says. Flashlight, rubber bands and some candywrappers will do it.

Other options: glow sticks, kids toys with leds, christmas lights.

MEC sells cheap, but good, white and red bike LEDs that will probably work well. I'll find out tonight anyway.

Yes, you're welcome Robbin! Just come with your camera and tripod. Most of us have extra flash lights and sparklers.

Text or call if you need me. I'm heading out right now.

Thank you Alice. It's a lot of fun. Let me first post the city shot. I call it "city barcode" It's my first time and I am so excited about such a beautiful scene.
