How to Play with Light

How to Play with Light

Technically drawing with light – it’s so easy to do and i’m addicted. The most fun you can have with a camera by far.

They’re all pretty random images taken out of car windows on coach journeys, and I particularly love the ones that turn out like real shapes, such as giraffes or cyclists as above. If you want to take some of your own simply grab a digital camera, put it in manual mode and decrease the shutter speed to about 3-5 seconds.

You may have to adjust a few extra settings but if you do the ones to be changed will be on the screen and you can play around with the up/down buttons that all digitals have. Happy clicking!

Beautiful images!
I also like looking at “Fractals” (you can google image search them).
