Here are some light drawings that I created just the other night. It took me a while to get everything set up (with the right apperture/lighting) but once I got going it was all good. After a few practices are some; what can only be described as 'poor' attempts, myself and William came up with some good ideas and we swiftly put them into practise.
If you're genuinely interested in Light Drawings and you're thinking to yourself, 'how does that clever lad Eoin do those?' then i'm going to tell you in these easy to follow, step-by-step guide to Light Drawings:
- You will need 2 or more people
- 1x Camera
- 1x Tripod
- 1x Torch
- 1x patience and creativity.
After you have successfully assembled your team and equipment you're ready to go!
- You need to set your camera to 'BULB' this can be found at the bottom of the Shutter Speeds.
- Please camera on Tripod and sort out your surroundings.
- After this, you will need one person to HOLD DOWN the Shutter [button] whilst the other(s) are creating the Light Drawing.
- The people creating the image will need to have a torch and be aware that they don't want to get themselves into the picture! They will also need to move the torch around quite slowly to gain a better quality image.
- When the image in complete, simply release the SHUTTER and VIOLA! Your Light Drawing is created!
- Easy Peasy - i'm sure you'll agree.
P.S: You will need to think about what ISO (sensitivity of the film) number the camera is set at. Whilst creating my own images I had the following: BULB, ISO: 100
I hope you find this useful :)
