Light Painting

 Light Painting is very fun to do but you have to make sure that the shutter is open for the correct amount of time so that you can create your picture. To do light painting all you need is a dark place and a light source. The light source can vary from a bike light to a torch or even your phone! To make sure that the image doesn't blur it is best to use a tripod for a flat surface so that the camera is still. You may have to take many shots of the same thing so that you can get the picture in the frame and have the shutter open for the correct amount of time. This is a great thing to do with friends because you can create shapes around each other.

Some famous Light painting photographers are;

• Gjion Mili - He was one of the first photographers to ever do light painting. He create some nice images using figure skaters and he also worked with Picasso. One of the famous images was "Picasso draws centaur".

• Eric Staller - His work is about creating lines with the light. These lines guide your eyes through the images.
