Light Graffiti

[chrisburke]

it's crazy simple... i just set my camera to aperture priority... and f22.... ISO at 200 (lowest it will go) take the picture, then start to draw with your light (i'd imagine LED works best) http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=ioiMlDhC_IU

I did it in low light, but far from complete darkness.

thanks for the help.

one more question, how do you focus on the subject (probably yourself). I mean, its too dark for my camera to focus so i have to guess using MF.

infinity is your friend

my little take on it. however it was at f3.5+10s

Really amazing!
Still, not my kind of photography.
But it's cool what people come up with...and I think getting it right really takes a lot of skill, at least the things those people on these websites do!

 

[chrisburke]

yea... its not really for me... i just like trying new cool things... I'm sure I can also find ways to use it in my job (i'm a youth minister kids love weird stuff like this)

i was actually giving it a shot the other day...

Ya it's gonna be tricky for me because unless I do it in almost pitch black I'll have to B (what does that stand for anyway?), meaning that someone else will have to do the writing.

Nice Atreus!

How were you able to keep the camera from recording your body movements??


The only guess I have is that you took 2 shots, one will the lighting and one w/ u standing there... not too sure though...

 

[chrisburke]

atreus... i too would like to know how you kept it from getting your body movements

sorry?

I have fooled around with it. It is a lot of fun, and cool with different colored lights

It stands for "Bulb."

i've been messing around with this again tonight... i've found some other things... you can do it with lights on... but the darker the better, as the brighter it is the less of your light (tag) will show up... I've also found that if i put my flash on "Rear" it makes me less blurry... I dont know what its called on your camera, but basically, what it does is when i first hit the button, the shutter closes... i write my tag, i get into position, THEN the flash goes... i think i have mine on 30 seconds... it seems to make some of a difference
