Painting with light
One of my favorite photography lessons that I teach is called "Light Painting." This is where you take really bright lights and use them to create an image in front of a camera. You have to set the camera to leave its lens open for an extended period of time, but the fun you can have with the images is only stopped by your imagination.
So what do you think of these images? Most of the time you can use cell phone light or a flashlight, but what other lights can create really interesting images? What would you do if you could? Would you light up an object or draw a picture? What would you draw? What object would you light up?

I really like these images. They are very unique and one of a kind. I can tell a lot of creativity was put into the images.
ReplyDeleteI think that these images are really amazing. I really like the third one of the angel, I like that the wings are lit up. If I did this project I would also do the angel.
ReplyDeleteThese images must have taken some time. getting these images wrong would be frustrating but somewhat easy to fix. Drawing things in light seems like it would be a fun project to try.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. I would love to try and do this. How long does it take for some of those pics?
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. It would be interesting to try and do. i like how it's care free and some are really aren't perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. It looks hard to do judging by the fact I can't draw. If I could this would be amazing to do.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. I don't think this would be a quick project. It would kinda fun for next year.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool. I think it's cool wow they can make something like that. I think it would be fun to try.
ReplyDeleteI love this. The colors and the details that are in the photos make the lasers look real. The colored lasers in the photos make unique and stand out.
ReplyDeleteI think it is amazing. It Looks like a cool thing to take pictures by. It looks like magic.
ReplyDeleteI like how they made the lighting on goku look so realistic.
ReplyDeleteThe guitar looked cool. I like all the colors that are mixed in with the guitar. The one where the boy is sitting on the bench isn't that cool
It is cool looking at how the "lightning" makes the pictures come to life. It gives the picture more color and depth and makes them better.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool and I would try to write my name if I could do this. I would totally do this if I had this kind of skill!
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice. I think it looks better with the light on it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice. I think it looks better with the light on it.
ReplyDeleteI think that they look really cool. I would take a photo of a person. Then, I would draw a cape and tights on them so they would look like superman.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty cool. You can turn any ordinary picture into a bright, vibrant picture.
ReplyDeleteThis is honestly the coolest thing to look at. I like the wings one.
ReplyDeleteI really like these images. They are very unique and one of a kind. I can tell a lot of creativity was put into the images.
ReplyDeleteI really like these "light paintings". They are really dope.

ReplyDeleteThese pieces really is getting me going about what the future is going to be like for energy. The west's sick addiction for fossil fuels. It is going to make the world inhabitable for future generations if we don't do something soon. I believe we are going to do a number of things in the future to improve this, including harness pure light energy to power our cars. As well as ocean floor farming. We are not using 75% of the earth's surface for agriculture, did you know that? I think (probably by 2070) we are going to have sea floor farming beds. Have you ever had sea beets, sea yams, sea cabbage? Have you ever had a sea cheesy baked potato that BLEW YOUR SOCKS OFF? Cause your gonna be, 2070 coming up.
ReplyDeleteI like the creativity in this art. the way they did must've took forever but it is really cool. This is such a great design.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool. My personal favorite is the fourth one. Although the the lights with the guitar help makes it look like it pops out which is cool.
ReplyDeleteThis is super cool. I would like to try something like this sometime. It would probably be pretty time consuming.

ReplyDeletethe light painting with the guy on the bench is very good
ReplyDeleteWhen me and Landon went to Colorado this summer we saw some of these for sale and I almost bought one,but I didn't. These are really unique and super cool to look at.
ReplyDeleteThats crazy that technology can edit and completely recreate an image to look like that. That looks like a huge time consumer. Id buy one of those and hang it in my room.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks pretty sweet. It would be a neat project to do because it is different. It would be cool to see how it is done
ReplyDeleteThe amount of effort that went into these reallys talks about the level of insanity in this world. When you look at these pictures you don't just see light. You see everything that is wrong with the world. You see the amount of turning around and going in the "wrong direction"
ReplyDeleteI really like the picture of the guitar and it really shows the detail of the painting
ReplyDeleteThat "artist" who did that Goku one should step on a lego , that's not even how Goku's Ki blast looks like.
ReplyDeletethe graphic and color is really nice

ReplyDeletei feel like the grand canyon could be pretty cool with the right artist. like a really bright light and drawling at the bottom of the canon
ReplyDeleteit looks nice and professional asf
ReplyDeletethese are really cool. i think they would be really hard to do. but at the same time they would be fun
ReplyDeleteThese are all really amazing. But the one with the guy with the wings is probably the best. Thats to me anyways
ReplyDeletethe first one looks like a crappy super hero movie scene or something, but all the rest of them are super dope like its so trippy
ReplyDeleteThis looks really cool. I have tried to do this before, but still haven't figured out how to do it yet. I would like to try this sometime once I figure out how to do it.

ReplyDeleteI really love these type of pictures and have been trying to do it on my phone, but I don't know how to control the shutter speed on my phone camera. I have seen people use glowsticks or just lay the camera next to a jar of fireflies (it really is beautiful). If I could ever figure this out, I would probably draw a picture of a ufo. Or i could tie glowsticks to a hulahoop and have somebody twirl it so the image would look like a ball gown

ReplyDeleteI think that these are very cool. I would do something like this and try to paint a cool picture on one of my racing pictures
ReplyDeleteI like how you can experiment with lots of different kinds of lights and colors. I think it would be really cool drawing things like how you do with sparklers on the 4th of July.

ReplyDeleteI kinda want to figure out how they did this because it looks really cool. I think I could do some dope stuff with this.
ReplyDeleteWow! These look very cool and complicated. I kind of want to know how this was done, but then it also looks like a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteThe amount of effort that went into these reallys talks about the level of insanity in this world. When you look at these pictures you don't just see light. You see everything that is wrong with the world. You see the amount of turning around and going in the "wrong direction"
ReplyDeletei know one of the art classes just did this. I remember when I was little during the fourth of july me and friends would take pictures while twiring fast with sparklers. it kindof made a ring around us. kinda the same thig but kinda not

ReplyDeleteAll these things very cool and creative especially since there incorporated into nature. I don't think I could do a project like this due to my short temper. This would also be to expensive for a class project. Maybe you could do it with glow sticks.

ReplyDeleteThis looks really cool like I would really want this in my home and it looks kinda like a firework in a few ways.
