Category: Techniques
Tips: For this type light painting use a dark space, a small, movable light source, a camera capable of doing long exposures, a wide angle lens, and a remote shutter release or timer on camera.
Design was made with a light flute, a tool created by Australian photographer Denis Smith.
I rotated file to vertical, adjusted exposure, cleaned and darkened background, and "ended" the design in post processing (Elements).
Exif: Camera: SONY ILCE-7M3; Shutter Speed: 30/1; Aperture: f/7.1; ISO: 200; Orientation: ; Date: 2021:06:16 18:15:00
