Photography Group - Light Painting

Light painting results when a handheld light source—usually a flashlight— is used in a dark room or outdoors at night to illuminate a subject.

When you make a light painting, your camera is on a tripod with its shutter open for a timed exposure while you illuminate parts of the subject with the light.

Here is a tutorial on Learning About Your Camera with Light Painting Photography.

Try it at home, then send your photographs to jhenze [at] deforestlibrary.org by April 20. A few will be posted on Facebook with the permission of the photographers.
