RE: Light painting - a reflection of my soul

in Picture A Day5 years ago

Interesting, I have some solar powered LED lights, but they are on a string.
Like outdoor Christmas Lights.
Don't know how that would work on a timed exposure, for that matter I don't
Know how to set my camera up for such as that.
Got me some thinking to do about this

Hey @jerrytsuseer. You could totally use those lights. Set your camera on a tripod and set your aperture at like f16 to start. Then set your shutter speed to as long as possible. Take a shot and then wave the lights for as long as the shutter is open. Check the results and make adjustments to camera based on that. Adjust aperture if too dark or bright. Always keep ISO as low as possible.

I've never messed with those settings, I am timid when it comes to changing settings when I don't know what I'm doing, but thanks, I'll try to keep that in mind @g-race-c

Take peace of mind from the fact you cant break anything. Put that puppy in manual and play around. Have fun Jerry
