How To Do Light Painting ..

You can make some cool pics with a technique called light painting. Light painting is basically painting in dark location with a light source in hand, and while this is being done,your camera shutter is being exposed to the scene. So all need is a camera, light source, tripod(optional). Although its better to use an camera in Bulb mode, you can find this bulb mode in your camera settings, by setting your cam in bulb mode you decrease the shutter speed by that way we get longer time to record our art, in this mode when we press the button once the shutter opens and on another press it closes and saves the picture. Dont worry if you don't have the bulb option the shutter will will be open as long as you keep the button pressed. After you finished your painting camera would take a little time to process your painting.This technique takes a little time to grasp, but with some practice you can have lots of fun..
