Painting with light is an interesting thing you can do with photography. It's fun, you can be as creative as you want, and you can really make some amazing looking images. Here you can find some really amazing images of painting with light:
People think, "oh gosh, that looks so hard!" I was one of those people. It turns out it's actually a fairly simple process. First you get your camera, make sure it's dark enough outside, or you can be in a dark room as well. Now all you have to do is open your shutter all the way (this allows more light to come in). Doing this will allow the camera to not only see the light you have, but also increase the exposure time so that it can record the design you want with your light. Exposure times varies between cameras. Most point and shoot cameras wont have that long of an exposure time like say, a DSLR would. It's no big deal though. My camera has an exposure time of about 20-30 seconds. That's plenty of time for me to at least make a simple design. It's also fun to have more people help you out as you can add even more to the design. The photo at the top of my page is a paint with light that I did as an assignment. It is slightly edited, adjusting some of the colors. I have titled this photo Spirits Within. I was not sure what else I could name it (lol)! Most of the designs I did were of me just randomly waving my cell phone around. I made some Xs some circles, a bunch of squiggles, pretty simple stuff basically. It is an enjoyable thing to try. The possibilities of things you can do is only limited by your creativity and imagination!
