Lights, Camera, Action!

This project is so stinkin fun!! My husband and I had an absolute blast creating this artwork. I bet you won't believe that I did these with my camera! All you have to do to make a light painting is change the setting on your camera and get some flashlights. To do the picture on the left I flashed the light at my face turned it off, took two steps to the left and flashed the light at my feet. The picture below was done with a blue laser pointer. The square that is defined is a mirror in my living room.

This video will show you how to change the shutter setting on your camera so that you can create light paintings too.

Light paintings are so much fun and easy to create. As I was doing this project I couldn't stop because I was so amazed at each picture. All these ideas kept coming to me and I wanted to try all of them. I had to stop because it got late and cold. I wanted to add color to some of the pictures so I took the laser and put paper over it so that the light would be thicker. The picture below is what it looks like. I love the way my artwork turned out and I'm glad I was able to
 learn about light painting.
