We shut off all the lights and the boys asked to play with glow sticks and their mini leds. I told them to jump around and go crazy while I took pictures. I wanted to try painting with light. Somehow my 7 year old made two pictures in his playing. The first was the bottom where it looks to me like an eggplant and an apple. He had two glow sticks in each hand and was just waving them around. The second picture had the "&" and a squiggly. So last night the hubby showed me how to copy and paste the "&" into the other picture and I just added the text. I am just amazed at how this came out! I couldn't have done it without my son's crazy creativity!!
@indiannie_jones Do you have a remote so you can do a longer exposure than 30 sec?? The reason why i am wondering is cuz i have found when doing pics like this of water if you set your ISO to 100 and then Your appeture to like 18 or higher you can actually make the water look glassy smooth no matter how choppy it is with a 1-2 minute exposure :-D
This is probably my favourite of the ones I've done, a 10 minute exposure, in a graveyard in the dark...
Or there's this for something a little different:
@triciaanddazzle Great Light Art!!! I attempted to draw my car it was tough hahah @sbothers For being balanced that is so awesme! love the reflection! @lyxw Fountains always make for great long eposures! check out this one i did last week in washington!
@pfmandeville yes tracking shots do apply :-P that one is pretty good! they are hard to get the hang of i might add! I am still trying to perfect mine but its been a long hard process ha! and for that water fall one, I would love to see a cropped or zoomed in shot just to have the actuall moving water bigger in the frame. I love water long exposures
HI @Cade VanHeel Thanks. everything, hahahaha.. specifically the Ferris Wheels' shots. And all the lights and shades here are so great. How can I get this shot? What set up do I have to make on my Camera, Canon? Thanks a million ^_^ I'm new here. hahaaha.
@fallenangel1019 with the feris wheel you need your camera on M (manual) and the shutter speed as to.be kinda lengthy I'm guessing like 10-15 sec and what they did why the shutter was open for That 15 sec they zoomed out steadily. You need a tripod for That shot. Welcome to 365 :)
@cvanheel Thanks so much Cade. You've been so friendly and helpful to me. But what's the remote shutter for? I don't have this yet, I'll buy one for sure though.hahaha. I'll have my attempts posted here once I get the chance to go to the carnival or the busy streets. ^_^ TC.
@fallenangel1019 so you don't bump your camera when pushing the button to start the exsposure. But also to make exposures longer than 30 sec cuz your camera won't go longer
