Light Paintings

Light painting, or light drawing, is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure.

The process of this is very easy. First, make sure you are in total darkness. Any small amount of light can mess this up for you. Next, get a lightwand or flashlight, any form of light (pixelstick or whatever you find online or in the store. anything works.) and make sure you know how to use it, turn it on or off, and change the color. Turn on your camera and turn off all the lights and focus the camera on your subject by holding down the capture button until it clicks. Next, turn on your light wand and do whatever you want with it. Make cool designs, write something, draw something. After you're done, turn off your light source and press the capture button on the camera until it makes a noise. It takes while to load, but then you have your creative and unique image!
