To paint using the camera and the light
January 27th, 2010
Using long exposures when its still dark outside in sweden. Sets up the camera on slow shutter speed approximately 1.6 seconds. The shutter speed depends a little on what effect you want to get up. Since this concerns me the camera vertically to get brush strokes and colors are the light reflected from the subject so that this can be enough to test with different motives and produce different effects. It works just as well with compact cameras as well as SLR. As long as you stick with the long exposures.
You may want to start with to set the white balance by taking a normal picture first and see that it seems to be good in color. Photography is as much to break the rules and create new ideas that work for strict perspective and composition rules. Breaking the patterns and think for yourself how you want your image. It is equally important to be autonomous in its photographer than just follow others’ experience. Learn from others but to create itself, I think is a good slogan.
You can certainly develop this technology. I think I get better at understanding the final outcome, the more I practice on it so this can require a lot of practice to make nice pictures.
