Lightwriting, by insite on Jul 28, 2007 7:30:28 GMT 1, You don't need any photoshop for these it's purely camera technique. You'll need a sturdy tripod or stable platform to lock off the camera, set a long exposure, a few seconds at least then get your torch and start writing. It's all about matching the movement with the length of exposure so experimentation is the key to success. There's another technique called lightpainting where you use a big torch, one of those million candle power jobs is good to "paint" in parts of a scene at night. Digital cameras have made this type of photography very accessible with the ability to instantly review and check results, also if you're disorganised like me the camera records all your settings so you have an idea of where to start from next time.

One way of getting long exposure times without over exposing is to use a low setting (ASA for our American cousins) this does help to reduce digital "noise" giving a clean image. However using long exposures on digital sensors can cause them to overheat which then gives a grainy look to the image so you may well be right on the potatoshop front.
There's a street artist who uses this technique but I can't remember their name, they're in "Art Of Rebellion 2" but I'm not at home so can't look it up I'll try to remember this thread and post a link in a couple of days.

There are other examples of this on pbase too. Try a search for "painting with light"

Lightwriting, by pelle on Jul 30, 2007 20:34:03 GMT 1, heh, this respect point system is funny. In the course of the day I've gone from something like +2 to currently -2 without posting anything too offensive (feel free to correct me if you feel differently). Strange.
If anyone disagrees with me and what I write, then I wish they'd just come out and say it.
If, on the other hand, this is some childish game of just having it in for me, well... have fun then. Just know that you've broken my heart, you cruel cruel person.
