As I have stated in posts before, light is such an important part of photography. There are so many techniques to use to change your photo. One of the most fun is indoor light painting photography. This technique is done completely in the dark! It forces you to learn where different settings on your camera are.
Indoor Light Painting Photography Settings
For light painting photography, you need a very long shutter speed. For these photos, my shutter speed was 13 seconds! This way I had enough time to shine a light onto different parts of the items. My ISO was 10o and my f-stop was f/9. Before I took the photo, I had to make sure my camera was focused. Otherwise, it would turn out blurry and weird. The way I did this was put my camera in auto-focus. Once it had focused, I turned it to manual focus then turned off the lights. From there, I would press the capture button. I then took a flashlight and put light wherever I wanted it.
