Light Painting
Light painting is a technique used in photography to capture the movement or exposure of a hand-held light source. Also there are 3 different light painting techniques are 'light painting', 'light drawing' and 'camera painting'.
How does it work?
I worked with Soemaya, Nazmin and Audrey. We went into the darkroom to make light paintings.We had to set up the camera and use a tripod because we did not want the camera to move during the long exposure. (This was to prevent blurred pictures). We wanted to change the settings on the camera so we changed the shutter speed so it stayed open for 15 seconds,this gave us more time to draw whatever we wanted to. We adjusted the aperture to F/5.6, this is the widest aperture on our camera and this lets in more light. We needed to pick the widest aperture because we were taking photos indoors and there is less light. After we have set the camera everything we try different things with the torch. We check the camera was in focus also there have flash only one flash because it's look clear your faces and body if no flash it will like blank cant see anything your face only can see the light painting. We use indoor because there have less light, we only have F/16, F/11 F/8 and F/5.6
First experiment on light painting.

There are the set of images that we as a group have produced based on the technique 'light painting'. We had the opportunity to go into the special room to experiment, and were also given a few torches, varying in colours. All of that sideshow are order as it was our first time, it was hard to know what the correct settings should be so we kept trying and trying to make correct work.

Flashed Photography
Our first time to doing flashed photography with Tyler, Audrey, Nazmin and Soemaya. Flashed photography are the mostly difficult to doing because it was hard to see with flashed also it's does give you headache too much.
