warming-up to challenge 36.

Hi y'all.


Here is a picture I did last evening.

How to make a flashlightdrawing ?
It is dead easy.
Grab a flashlight and set yourself in front of your camera.
I use my sony 828.
speed set at 30 sec and aperture at f8 (smallest on my camera ) .
Set timer and a manual focus
For this tulip pic I made 4 pictures.
One for the tulip and one for each word.
Then I blended them all together in one picture and added some colour.

It is fun ! BIG FUN !
Everybody join the Challenge .
( just make sure there are good batteries in your flashlight.)

Bye,

That's gorgeous, I especially like the purple light in the tulip. I also like the ocasional flare and that bit of green light on the floor under the flower. I would darken the background and apply heavy noise reduction, but that's just me. Thanks for the tutorial:thumb

Dead easy for you maybe!
You have more talent in your little finger than I do in total.

Are you writing backwards, too or flipping the images so the letters come out correct? What ISO setting are you using here? My 828 has a lot of noise in night shots. I'd like to try something like this sometime, too~ Nee :D

What I do is:

I put my 828 in Manual mode, f8, timer, and 30seconds ( or shorter if I don't need that much time ).

When I write words, I flip them over afterwards, so the letters come out correct .

for the tulip it took about 7 takes untill I was satisfied with the result .
Sometimes I need as much as 20 takes when something is difficult for me , so
don't be disappointed if it doesn't look good after your first 3 takes.

Just do some more !

Succes !
