Okay, so I had a grand time putting this one together. This first photo was taken with my Nikon point and shoot, the color effect was made with a cd's reflection.
OKAY, I have to say this. My favorite singer in the world is Steve Taylor, some of you know him others don't, but if he were dead I think this is how he'd look. Just saying. This one picture in particular was a BLAST to work on, it took a couple of tries, but in the end it was well worth it.
I love this one, it reminds me of something out of a comic book.
Alright here is the beauty about light painting photography. You see four skulls right? Wrong! Actually the only real original skull here is the red one on the far left hand side, all of others were recorded. If you are in a pitch-black surrounding than the camera can't see anything, unless some thing or some one shines light onto it, than the camera can record that object. If you turn your lights off again and move your object than again shine light onto it, the camera will pick it up, basically you can keep doing this so long has you have plenty of imagination and a lot of space, imagination I have, space on the other hand....no. Now some of you might be wondering: "How in the world can I do this!?" Well, here's how. What you'll need are as followed: 1: A tripod. 2: A digital slr camera. (I don't think point and shoots can do this, maybe a more advanced point and shoot). 3: A remote shutter release. I use a Ml-DC2. and 4: You need to switch your camera to bulb mode, if you can't figure out where that is than turn back to your instruction booklet. Some have bulb mood on the dial which is on top of your camera, others, like myself, have to go into our shutter speeds and change it manually.
For anyone who needs a video tutorial just contact me at the same address and I will make one for you. PLEASE REMEMBER ONE THING: Do not capitalize any of my letters in my e-mail address, I was not being lazy by not capitalizing my (S), it was easier for everyone to keep them ALL lower case because Yahoo is cap sensitive, I don't know if it is still like that today, but it was when I got started. Anyways, thanks for reading, I'm happy to answer any questions, and if you should have any suggestions or ideas feel free to share them, as I always say: "It is good to see a photo through another photographers eyes." Odds are they have thought of an angle or an idea that might be better then your own. Good luck and have fun folks!
