Lovely warm night here in Norway today, decided to test something I have been wanting to do for a while. Which is Lightpainting.
What I did was to use the darkness to my advantage. I parked in a relatively dark spot. The art in the back there could be better now that I think of it. Anyway, I set the camera to have a very long exposure time, like 15", and a F-stop of 12 or so to get it really dark. Then I started exposing while dancing around the bike using my phone to illuminate the side facing the camera. The LED lightsource also gets exposed if it faces the camera and are recorded as long wisps.
I shoot with RAW format and adjusted in post with Adobe Photoshop CC.
Fun thing to do with photography. More interesting than taking the normal images.
