Freezelight Light Painting work by Tatiana Vetrova

All you need is…

Freezelight or Light painting is a light painting technique which needs no image editing software. All you need is a light source like a small flashlight, a camera with freezelight controls and a tripod to prevent your picture from shakes. Eagerness, patience and a jolly mood are most welcome as well.

Important settings for freezelight (light painting) 

ISO

To make sure your camera can freeze light, first, find ISO on the screen. It shows how much your camera is sensible to the light. Taking photos in low light needs higher light sensitivity. That is why for the technique of freezelight ISO should be less than 100. (ISO is usually rated as 80, 100, 400 and so on.)

Exposure time

Shutter speed “ or the exposure time is a period of time in which you take a picture. Sometimes you need only 10 seconds for a simple smile or a pretty curve. More complicated drawings need longer exposure time and vice versa. Practice will show you the right time in which the frame is being exposed to illumination.

F-stop

Check up F-stop settings. The F-stop defines the amount of light which reaches the camera sensor. Standard settings include 1,1.4,2,2.8,4,5.6,8,9,11,16,22 and 32. Choose the lowest F-stop. It will allow the large amount of light to pass through the camera lens. Less light passes through the lens in case when the F-stop or a lens speed is the highest.

Tips 

Use a tripod to avoid instability of a further shot. Mind the surroundings and try different light conditions. The narrower flashlight the thinner lines and vice versa. Use differently coloured flashlights to get more exciting photos.

I wish I could read a personal profile Love is beautiful - smiling, laughter, a loving thrill of the heart, excitement. However, the fairy tale  requires hard work . What if at a meeting with a new person who could potentially become the love of your life there were opportunities to view his/her personal file, like a profile of a character in a computer game?
