Light thingy?

[wycoco]

I'm still wondering about that little light effect I see in some pictures. Paging TJ?

See my last post in that thread.

Just wondering about how the light stays a line when you spell stuff out. Maybe if you leave the shutter open when you take the pic? Or something with exposures? Eh?

if u have a camera that has shutter settings, i think u just set it to like 6 to 10 second shutter. put the camera on a table or a tripod, and write ur message with a photon, or a small flashlight..or u could use a regular flashlight, and write it all big. dont be writing it all fast tho. i shoulda been more clear the first time. try it. i bet it'll work.

Yall know what I'm talkin about tho, right? It's like the background is all black cuz it's dark, and theres a person standing in the middle. He'll like take a flashlight or something and pretend he's writing a message in midair. But when the picture is taken, the word he wrote is outlined by the light.

Just change the shutter speed on the camera... anyone can do it.

if your camera has a shuter priority mode, set it on that and select oh i dont know say a 5 second shuter speed, then you have 5 seconds to draw whatever your heart desires with a light pen or something like it. just make sure the camera is on a tripod or a table or something. it cannot be touched at all.

yeah, i actually did it. set ur camera on slow shutter, like 4 to 10 seconds. just mess around with whichever settings best suits the room. have someone take the picture or set it on timer. get a light or a laser pointer, and write whatever u want in the air. upload it, then reverse the picture.
