For the next challenge, I have selected - Light Painting. There are several versions of this style from small to very large objects. From abstract to words.
The internet will provide you will multiple sources on this technique and a long list of how to do this!
This challenge starts today, Friday, August 22nd and will run until Sunday 7th of September. Photos to be considered for the challenge should be taken and posted within that time frame. Please tag your shots technique30.
Constructive & kind feedback is encouraged. Feel free to share tips, suggestions or how you were able to get the terrific photo you did. Posting your photo on this thread is encouraged but not required.
Have fun and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I've tried some light painting before and loved the outcome, you can get some really good results with laser pens for writing and outlining
But also for some more unusual light writing, I achieved this one by wearing all black, including gloves and a hoody backwards over my face and using a long exposure and getting a friend to pass the laser pen over me as I held different positions - sticking your leg up in the air is optional!
The third example you gave is a long exposure or light trails. Since you don't control the light, I don't consider it light painting.
If you could remove it, that would be great as I don't want people to get confused between the two techniques. In light painting, the photographer or assistants control the light source like a brush and paint it into the scene to illuminate the subject.
Hi guys, im new to 365, just posted my first image today, is the challenge open to everyone?
I love the idea of light painting and cant wait to give it a go x Amy
I've done and loved the standard light paintings, but one night as I was capturing my boyfriend blowing bubbles I saw something spectacular happen. In the light, you are able to see the rainbow coloring from the oils in the bubbles. In a long exposure shot, this is what happens....
@not_left_handed Hello Dawn, If you write light painting in the search box, then hit photos you will get some done by 365ers. Just go to one & their exif should show you what they set their camera at. With longer the exposures try to set your aperture accordingly. Hope this helps a bit, they are fun when you get into them

Thanks! There is a nice technique article on this on Wikipedia, along with some other examples.
Happy shooting!!
