was at work in my office and I heard loud screeming from my back yard. It sounded like kids but it was 1130 at night. I went outside with my flashlight and found it was 2 racoons up in a tree just over my gutters going at it. It was a vicous fight but the presence of my family shinning lights at them spooked the one to climb down and flee into the woods. The other which I think was hurt stayed in the tree.

I guess you can call this light painting. This is just the light from the flashlight. It was very dark so I had to edit it to et some fill light, sharpness and Unsharp masking. Came out ok considering that the camera chose an ISO of only 400. I popped the onboard flash but it was no help they were at least 50 feet away.
