This is my second Gimp Tutorial. The original tut was made by Fabio Sasso in his wonderful site Abduzeedo. He has done the light painting tuts for Photoshop,Pixelmator,Firework and i decided to try the tuts with gimp. It took me an hour trying to find the right combination of effects and blend modes in gimp, and i did it! Here is my tuts;
