For my humanities project, I set out to do something I had never seen before. It was something within my hobby of drones and RC planes, but I was unsure if it would be possible. I set out to take long exposure photos of LED lights attached to a drone. I originally set out with…

This week went mostly well. I was able to take a lot of photos with the drone and create some cool effects in the sky. The weather at the end of the week started becoming less than ideal so, I switched gears a little bit in order to capture more content. Since the wind was…

This week I was able to get out and finally start taking some photos. I was doubting if I would be able to achieve my desired results. I went out right before sunset to get the camera set up and focused. As it began to become darker, I started taking photos. I set the camera…

This week my original plan was to get all the LED lights setup and running to take some practice shots. I figured my failing point would happen during my first couple of photos, but it did not go according to plan. My plan is to solder connectors onto the led light controller and then the…

I experimented with a small drone which already had a few dim LEDs onboard. I took various shots indoors. I also used a foam glider with a flashlight attached to simulate an RC plane but the glider was too quick to capture well. I think flying an RC airplane at a higher altitude will help…

For my light art project, I have a few ideas. I love photography and taking long exposure photos has always interested me. I have only tried taking a few long exposure photos before and I am happy with how they turned out, but I want to try something different. I have seen long exposure photos…

Cai Guo-Qiang, an artist originally from China, connects his viewers to nature and the universe through unique mediums. Cai uses gunpowder to create paintings, fireworks to fill the sky with wonderful images, light tubes for dramatic affect and some sculpted animals for connectedness of nature.  “I try to use my art as a channel of…

To begin this short auto biography, I will start with the basics about myself. My name is Joncarlo, I am currently a senior studying Mechanical Engineering. My interest in engineering started when I was really young. It all began when I had gotten my first “real” RC car when I was around 10 years old….
