Light Painting & Ghosts

Video: How to change settings for long exposures on Manual Mode

Part 1:

With a partner or group of three, practice creating light painting/light graffiti using long exposures anywhere from 10-30 seconds long.  Use a tripod!

Make sure your camera is on Manual mode (M).

Use ISO 100 and high F-stop numbers.

*You’ll probably need to use manual focus (MF) on the lens to focus the photos yourself when photographing in the dark.*

Use your cell phone flashlight as your light drawing source.

Take turns.  Save all the photos you like onto your OneDrive.

Part 2:

With a partner or group of three, practice creating ghost effects using long exposures anywhere from 1-10 seconds long. Use a tripod!

Make sure your camera is on Manual mode (M).

Use ISO 100 and high F-stop numbers.

Take turns. Save all the photos you like onto your OneDrive.

Part 3:

Edit at least one light painting photo and one ghost photo using Photoshop. Export as JPEG files and post to your blog.  Include the camera settings (MASIF) in the captions!!

Due by Thursday 10/28/21

Student examples inside the classroom and outside:

The contest is optional. Photos should be mysterious, spooky, weird, surreal, or scary. 

Submit any photo you capture during class or your own time.  Be sure to edit the photo to enhance the mood & look that you’re going for.  Submit no later than November 2nd into Teams. One entry per student.

One winner per period will be announced November 4th.  Winners will receive a goody bag!
