Light Painting
I've been playing with a technique involving a dark room and a flashlight *grins*. It is called light painting.
The setup for these was my messy dark living room, a TV tray, my D90 and a flashlight. I set the bowl on one end of the tray and the camera on the other. Since it was a long-exposure photo I used the cable release rather than the shutter button. My camera settings were ISO 100, shutter 8 seconds and aperture F11. For this one I shined the flashlight directly above the bowl. I added or took away light by how long I'd shine the light.
These had the same settings but I waved the flashlight around behind the bowl. I also got a little creative in photoshop by adding a gradient to the light. This was done by adding a new layer and filling it with a gradient and changing it to the hue blending mode, then erasing it from the bowl.
These were done with the same method as above.
Again, I played with this one in photoshop adding color gradients.
Learning new things is always a fun adventure. Thanks for looking and have a beautiful day :)
