This weekend I shot light painting. I had a really fun time shooting and coming up with ideas. Light painting is one techniques used in photography that you can use to highlight an object. I did the light painting project, because about two weeks ago I was really inspired from the light painting demo we did in class. I was very curious and ideas were flowing through my head of things I could do with this technique. However, when I was shooting, it did not go over as easy as from when we did it in class. First, I learned you have to point your light source at the camera in order for the camera to pick up your light strokes. Also, I learned the importance of depth in photography. In the past, I always wanted to black out the backgrounds of my photos to make the subject really pop. However, in this assignment I tried to do some editing to bring some of the black background back to give in more of a three dimensional feel. Finally, learned that I can incorporate my other passions in photography like basketball to emphasize the subject, and express my life, feelings, and interests. Shutter Speed: 30 seconds
Aperture: f/stop 4.5 ISO: 100 In the photograph above, I brought up the saturation a little to bring color back to my Dad's face, and to make the red and blue lights a little less "white". I also, brought up the temperature of the photo to warm it up, and make it more eye pleasing.
