Photography- Light Graffiti

LIGHT GRAFFITI 

Light Graffiti photography requires a lot of creativity. The process of making light graffiti photographs was great and highly enjoyable. We had to have the lights turned off in order for this process to work effectively. The reason this had to be done was that the camera didn't capture any unnecessary light images. We were all given torches in a group of four and took it in turns to produce our images. We used a DSLR canon camera's and programmed them to manual on a TV setting of ISO ''30. We then used different colour LV lights to draw around each other, thus producing the pictures above.

Photography: Zoom, Pan and Blurred Images

BLURRED MOTION

The shutter speed is lowered to 1/40th in order to achieve a Blurred imagine. This type of photography, puts in focus the surroundings of the main object e.g the road and other cars in the both images below. However the main objected is out of focus and blurred therefore creating the illusion that it is moving. Thus creating the 'Blurred' motion. For this to happen, the camera stays still. 

PAN

The two photographs below were achieved putting the 'pan' method into theory.  This is done by the shutter speed being lowered just as before in the Blurred motion effect. A Pan image is created by the movement of the camera following the motion of a moving object. Doing this will bring out of focus the surroundings of the subject and in the focus the main object, therefore making the car (in this case the main object) appear static.

SHUTTER ZOOM

In order for this to happen, the shutter speed is lowered further to 1/20th. The shutter Zoom pictures below we're done by holding the camera still and in place with the focus on the main subject. (e.g the subject in the first of the pictures below is me) When the picture is taken the zoom lens is moved in and out very sharply in order the achieve these results. It was absolutely imperative that I kept the camera as steady and as possible when moving the zoom lens otherwise the image would have been blurry and distorted. My favorite of the pictures below is my third one. I love the way it brings out of focus and the surroundings of Chanai but still manages to highlight her and he shape of the pose well.
