Artist Statement -
Affects of low/fast shutter speed and camera movement - During this project I took over 100 photos and experimented with many techniques. I learned that with a fast shutter speed, less light will be absorbed and less movement will be too. I slow shutter speed is what I used for many of these photos. I didn't always shake the camera because we would have someone standing with a light painting the air. But for some light that wasn't moving I would shake my camera in a pattern. I would also just experiment certain motions and see what they looked like.
Light painting - I used a fairly low shutter speed for this to capture a lot of light. I usually put it on 8" or 10"(this means seconds). This allowed for me to capture light which made shaped and cool designs in the air.
Abstraction - In many of these photos there is a clear abstraction where one cannot tell what the thing they are looking at is. There was no goal or achievement for obtaining a certain shape or type of look but just how light can interact with the camera.
Process/steps - I took the steps of preparing my camera for each photo. I did this by turning up the shutter speed or lowering it and then fiddling with the exposure. Once I got it right I was ready to take the shot and hope for the best and usually expect the worst.
three techniques - The three techniques I used was panning which was when someone would paint a light picture using a subject, and light painting which is where someone paints a picture with light or in other words, moves the camera in a way that captures the light that makes an array of light. The last one is blurred motion.
