First attempt at light painting

I'm not sure if this photo should go here or not. It was technically done in a low light situation. Is there a preferred file size, or method of posting pictures on the forum? The original picture is over 4mb and I'd hate to waste someone else's time trying to load my pictures.

This is my first attempt at light painting. I used my cell phone light with a piece of white paper over it to paint the picture. I used GIMP to merge 4 pictures. I believe that most of the pictures had a 10 second shutter speed, 100 ISO, and I can't recall the aperture (I'd have to guess around 8).

Hopefully I will be able to get the motorcycle out of the garage and experiment with it later this week. I nearly tripped over the trike when I walked into the house so it was much easier to access...

Thanks. I don't think that I uploaded my last edit, that or my computer screen is brighter than the one I have at work. I wound up brightening up a copy and using it to brighten up the down tube, handlebars, and the cargo box. I'll have to look again when I get home. That'd be disappointing if I didn't load the correct version.
