LIGHT DRAWINGS- Shutter Speed Challenge
Light painting or light drawing can be described as the simple act of capturing the trace of a narrow moving source of light using long exposure photography, long being defined as seconds or minutes. The moving light source will then appear in the finished picture as more then what actually exists and is truly a representation of time as well as space and movement.
What you need: - Camera (with long exposure capibilities) - Light drawing devices (LEDs, flashlight, cellphones, candles, blow-torches, flares) - a darkened room or area, night time. Camera Settings: - Camera mode: MANUAL - aperture: f/3.5 - f/12 (Front Dial or hold +/- and turn back dial) - shutter speed: (Back dial) slow enough for you to do your entire drawing (BULB- works well) - ISO: 100-200 Photo dimensions: 4in X 6in Project Objective- 5 Quality Photo Series - at least 1: Abstracted line and shapes drawings - at least 1: Person interacting with light - at least 1: Light writing (words, quotes, etc...)
