Long Exposure

As for this techniques I was more familiar with it as we had done it before in previous lectures. It is very simple and there is a lot of room for experimentation. The ones that we did were light painting and multiple exposure. Both of these techniques would require the camera to be on a tripod and to have a long shutter speed. This means the settings would be around f3.5 100 ISO and shutter speed varying from 1 second to longer, depending on how much time you need to produce the image. For light painting you are free to choose any types of lights and experiment with different ones to see their affects. We only had our mobile torches but used different objects to change the colour like a blue glove and a bottle with pink liquid.

As for the multiple exposure we used one light and a remote to use the flash whenever we wanted. So we pressed the shutter while someone did a pose and the other flashed the light, the person would change the pose while the other presses the flash to get different figures of the same person in 1 image. This created the effects seen on the below images.

What happens during these techniques is the sensor would be exposed for the amount of time the shutter is left open. This gives the opportunity for the sensor to catch all of the movement or visible poses.
