Light graffiti is a fantastic to way to
get creative with light trails at night.
1. Set up your camera on a tripod, with
ISO of between 400-800.
2. During the exposure you’ll want to
‘draw’ an image or word with a beam of light such as glow stick,
torch or sparkler for example.
3. Dial in an exposure long enough for
you to complete the word or image, and start the release with the
self-timer.
4. Get in front of the lens and start
drawing. To finish the image hold the torch steady and turn it off,
then move out of the frame.
5. Check the LCD for results and amend
the shutter speed as required. It’s advisable to wear black so you
do not show up within the photo and remember to move quickly or
you’ll be captured within the scene.
6. Colored gels or colored plastic
sweet wrappers can be taped over the end of the torch to add a
variation of color.
