Light Painting
Ive been meaning to do some light painting for a while, last night i finally got around to trying it out.
I turned out all the lights in my room, and set the camera up on my desk. I set the aperture to F16 as i didn't want any stray light to get into the sensor. I started out using a 30 second exposure, but i soon realised that, that was too long. So i set it to 8 seconds instead, which work really well. I used a blue and a yellow LED light to make the trails.
They came out much better that i expected. It took a few shots to get the light in the right spot, but over all I'm really pleased with how the photos came out.
I edited some so that the colours were slightly different, and i added them to Flickr. Again, the shots shown here have not been edited.

Really like these....I got to try some of these myself.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot easier than i would have thought. Just mess about with it, see what works.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, really simple but really effective.
ReplyDeleteI tried this as well but with a simple pen touch and was surprised how creative this could be. I really like the colours you have used and looks like the possibilities are endless.
