light photos

On tuesday, we went into the studio and setting the canon 5d on bulb setting and putting it on a tripod, a few people stood in front of it , in complete darkness. The person taking the image would stand and hold the button, a red light turning on , for a certain period of time.

While they were doing this, the people in front of the camera would begin to draw shapes in the air with the torches that were covered with coloured paper or plastic. When the button on the camera was released, colourful shapes would appear on the camera.

This would create a light image.

I enjoyed this lesson and i would like to do  it again and it was something that i didn't know could be done before. I would like to do it at home during the late evening when it would be dark and create colourful images using different lights of colour.
