For part of my New Media project I decided to do light painting. I wanted to do something I hadn’t tried before. I did two shots with a normal set up, like I had practiced before and 2 that were macro shots. I was really intrigued to try a macro shot with light painting. It was harder than I thought it would be. I realized that I didn’t need to light the scene as long as I had with my other shots and that I had to get more creative with my stances to get different lighting on my subject. I also realized it was a lot harder to put a scene together than I realized, I think that took up a lot of my time! For those of you wondering, the typical settings for light painting are: F/16, SS 20″, ISO 100, Cloudy WB. Shady and AWB also work, it just depends on the kind of look you’re going for. Here is what I came up with!
