This week I decided to try to take pictures under the theme of light painting. I had a neighbor pose as the Statue of Liberty while I set the long exposure to 15 seconds, then sprinted behind her and outlined her figure with a small flashlight. I then took it to photoshop to make it darker for contrast and bluer:
Original:
Edited:
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 150/10 seconds
Aperture: f/2.7
This photo assignment wasn't difficult, but it wasn't exactly easy either. I had a lot of trouble getting started, such as figuring out how to set my dad's camera (because mine doesn't have the ability to set the camera to manual focus). I also kept drawing too quickly, so the lines weren't as neat as I would've liked, and the drawings were sometimes unidentifiable. Once I was able to figure out how to set up the camera (with help from my dad and the internet) I had a lot of fun tracing subjects and doodling in the air.
