It should be noted that I have only started fucking about with photography recently, hence why they probably arn't that good.

led keychain lights are bright and cheap.
cut surounding lighting out as much as possible, it will bleed into photo.

start with f/11 or 13 and increase f-stop as you increase shutter duration.

in your photo did you have an open door or light on behind camera somewhere? either it was that or you shined the light against your background. also light in window added un-needed light.

I try to imagine that I am drawing/writing on a giant chalkboard directly in front of me at the same angle as the camera lens.

try to mark your field of view out through the viewfinder so that you know how wide and high you can make your drawing.

Okay you see... The problem with this is that I like it.

And I dislike this thread.

OP, just using some random lights in a black background is very difficult to pull off without it being annoying. Most of the time you might as well do it in Photoshop. See if you can intelligently incorporate other things around you (like the road, buildings, etc...)
