Requirement 3

Painting with light was a fun experiment that was entertaining to play around with. I tried a few shots where the light stayed relatively stable drawing pictures in the night, but really liked how this picture turned out. This picture was set against the lights of the Seattle city skyline and wanted to paint along with the same motif as the skyline.

 

For this shot, I positioned the camera for a 6 second exposure with a high f-stop -- in order to capture the skyline. I had my friend use the flashlight on her phone to create a lightsource, and had her start running against the background and moving the phone up and down to kind of match the skyline. As she started running, I took the shot and had 6 seconds of exposure for the light to paint these satisfying smooth, circular lines.
