This was very fun to make. From what I’m seeing, my phone isn’t going to cut it. The focus is less than ideal and maybe with a better camera, I’ll pick up less background noise. It seemed that shortening the shutter speed to 5 seconds helped get rid of some of the noise. 5 seconds is not a lot of time to move so I’m hoping I can potentially achieve this same effect with brighter light sources and lower ISO. Another issue is that all the surrounding walls are white, therefore contributing to the noise. If necessary, I have access to a ladder and can cover the walls with matte black paper ($20.99 on Amazon listed below). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going through this process has made me think more about what I want the focus of this project to be. When I move too quickly, I disappear from the image. For most of these, you have no idea what I did to create them. This is fine, but I think I would like to showcase dancing as well. I could also achieve this by having a side-by-side video of the moves that produced these patterns. Part of the appeal of light painting is seeing the process! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am very excited for this light paint exploration. Lucky for me, I already owned all the equipment I needed in order to test this concept out. All I needed was my Pixel 4 phone, a tripod, and glow sticks! The camera on my phone did not allow for manual configuration, so I downloaded the… <\/p>\n
The plan going forward is to continue experimenting with brighter light sources, different perspectives, and with a high definition camera. My good friend Dave, who does photography for the military, will lend me a Canon 70D camera and give me a crash course on setting up a good shot. I will need to practice getting a good video in the dark as well. In the future, if these don’t turn out as well as I would like, then I may have to learn some photo and video editing. I have about 50 glowsticks left to practice with, and I will be buying brighter arm bands as well ($19.95 on Amazon). There are a lot of variables to play with and if this is the starting point, I’m excited to see where this goes.
