Light Experiments - 3
Continuing my series on light experiments, I tried out a number of techniques on these.
One was to take out of focus photographs of light; I was sitting in the car at night, waiting for someone. Tried a few shots and got these. Not too good, but a start, nevertheless.
The next experiment was with a candle. Lighted and placed a candle, and moved the camera around with a long exposure time. I tried to draw some figures, but found that i was getting the inverse image of what I was trying. This was because the light source was constant while the camera was moving. So I had to draw everything inversely. Got some interesting patterns, and a few hearts.
Next I kept the camera on the table, set a long exposure time and set the self-timer to 10 seconds. I switched on the light on my mobile, which became my light source. Once the camera was clicked, I would move the mobile around to get some interesting shapes and letters.
My latest light experiment was by using the moon as the light source; I have already published those snaps in the previous post.
The main difficulty I encountered in light-drawing is that the hand would shake while trying to draw something. Not being a good artist is also not helping. Hmm, having said that, I should try some help from my artist cousin – let us see if he can draw better.
