How to paint with light

10.6.12

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you how to paint with light. It's so easy and fun! Last summer we spent a couple of nights only playing with light.

Suplies needed:

Flashlight / Phone
DSLR camera
Tripod or a place to keep your camera completely still
Darkness


Note: You can use a flashlight app on your phone, a lot of them have different colors of light! More fun!


How to set your camera:
- Put the shutter on f/3.5 - f/4.
(Depending on the darkness you'll need more or less aperture)
- Set the shutter time. For example you can try with 15 seconds first.

Don't forget the ISO! We put it on 300






Hold very still... and if the painter is very fast he won't appear on the picture.

And don't forget to "paint" the subjects on the photo with the light. It's important because if not, they won't appear in the photo! 

Have fun!
