Week #5 — Night and Lights

This week’s photo assignment was to take photos at night time and of lights, in this case I chose moving lights for my light photos. The first and second pictures I took using our mail box as my tripod. In the first photo I wanted the street to be pretty dark, but still recognizable, and for the street light to show up the most. I played around a lot with the fstop and shutter speed, and it was a lot of fun.

I did pretty much the same thing with the second shot as with the first except I moved the camera when the shutter had been open for 2 out of the 2.9 seconds it stayed open. I did this because I wanted the background to be as clear as possible with the streaks going across it. It took a lot of shots to get the light just right, but thats what made it exciting!

The last shot was taken in my bedroom using a glowstick. I used glowsticks in a lot of pictures but this one showed up the clearest. It says my name, which I like, but my favorite part of the picture is the light coming through the door; it adds a different feel to the picture.
