Throughout the course of this week, we began exploring the concept of light painting, which involves holding the shutter open on a camera and moving light around in a dark space. At the start of this project, everything was a little shaky, nobody knew how to do anything or they couldn't accurately portray what they wanted to do. We started out on the first day just doodling and attempting to write our names, which of course we needed to make backwards in order to have it turn out correctly. This is shown in the first photo. In the second photo, I tried tracing someone sitting down in a chair to try and make them look like the thinking man. This was also a little hard because we were still working everything out. In the next few photos, we were experimenting with the stage light and the kinds of shadows those passed. This was a lot of fun to experiment with. In the sixth photo, I was able to almost successfully draw two people playing catch with one another. From this day forth, I can say that we almost mastered the process of light painting. In the seventh and eighth photo, my friend Julia had the idea to hold up an iPad with a heart on it and go from there. In the last photo, I am sitting in a chair, and Julia went around my head as the shutter of the camera remained open and tried to illuminate my body as well as draw around my head. The last photo was one of my favorites from the whole week.
