Light painting: What do I need?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Light painting photography looks cool and really isn’t that hard to do! All you need is some darkness, a camera with an adjustable shutter speed, a tripod, and a flash\u00a0light. You can of course do without a tripod but as you are photographing slowly, your hands may get a bit tired which can result in shaky photos.\u00a0Light painting is a lot easier when there is another person there to help you \u2013 maybe your kids will enjoy it, too.<\/p>\n

Paint or write with light<\/h3>\n

Check out\u00a0your camera’s manual to learn how to adjust\u00a0the shutter speed. The shutter should be open for at least a few seconds. To get even better results, you can also select a lower aperture value or increase the ISO sensitivity manually.\u00a0Don\u2019t be afraid to play around with the adjustments, it\u2019s a fun way to learn more about your camera.\u00a0Some cameras come with a pre-installed scene mode (e.g., \u201cnight mode\u201d). They are worth a try as well, since the shutter speed is slower and the ISO higher. This setting will allow you to create a stunning light painting.<\/p>\n

Pro tip:<\/strong> If you write words, you should keep in mind that the picture will be mirrored. So, you either have to write in mirrored characters, or simply flip the picture in AquaSoft SlideShow’s image editor.<\/p>\n

Is it New Year\u2019s Eve or a birthday? Sparklers are a great tool for light painting. Just write the date of the new year in the air and let the camera capture it. Maybe that\u2019s a nice idea for your next slideshow?<\/span><\/p>\n
