Painting with Light Tips

1. Must be taken in low light conditions, preferably with a tripod to avoid shakiness.

2. Camera should be set with a long exposure and a slow shutter speed.

3. Don't use a wide aperture while also avoiding any source of light directed at the lens.

4. Light painter should not be in the frame.

5. Exposure should be as long as it takes for you to write or paint your message.

7. When writing a message write it backwards.

8. Subject should not move unless you want them to.

9. For better results, camera should be set at B shutter setting.

10. Photos should be taken preferably in a dark room or at a night/dusk.
