Universal light painting connector
I'm looking to make or purchase something similar to an universal light painting connector but have no ideas what to do/get. The original ones at £20 each is something I cannot afford. What have you guys used successfully in its place. Thanks

New here, should I post stuff without logo?
Hi, I'm new to reddit in general but I casually do some light painting. It's all just abstract experimentation. I always include a little logo when I post stuff to my art insta because I am paranoid. Should I post without the logo?
