    Light trails of the standby LED of my computer monitor’s on/off switch in the “Off” state (orange). The international symbol for an on/off switch (a broken circle with a vertical bar through the break) can be seen in bright outline. A five second exposure at macro focus distance and smallest aperture with smooth slow camera movement by hand produced the swirling light trails. / Copyright © 2008 Brian W.

About This Group

This group is dedicated to the photographic technique of Light Painting. This technique involves long shutter speeds and either a camera with a stationart light sourse, or a moving light source with a stationary camera. In some cases, objects are also highlighted with dynamic lighting in a photograph. This gorup is not for every blurry photograph you might have accidentally taken. Please be sure to browse the group’s work to get an idea of that this means – this is not a group to just throw anything involving light into. This group exists to both display your work and help others learn, so be kind and share your techniques!
