Another effort at the light painting challenge! Its really easy - get the dark, set the camera at a very low speed, put it on delayed action. Press the button to get the right focus ( the camera might pack a sad) but be firm with it. Then dodge in front of the tripod and stand in the right place swinging something which has a light. This particular item was a light wand that had several colours in it, given to me by my son from Japan and now I have a use for it!
@happypat no - as the camera recognises the bright light in the dark, it doesn't pick out your form. You can then just increase the contrast and hey presto you have black around the light! Give it a go!
I think this one is more effective than yesterday.
