Long Exposure

Painting with light


After watching a video on how to paint with light, I decided to try it out.


I first attempted to use a 30 second exposure and capture my sister in the photo 3 times by shinning a light on her and getting her to move around the garden whilst the shutter was open.




 My second attempt was using an old toy and a small torch. Whilst the shutter was open, i drew an outline around the teddy's head with the torch.




My last attempt was outside in my field. My sister and I both held torches and ran around creating a painting with light. Lastly I used a torch to draw an outline of my sister.


I also tried using a slow shutter speed whilst in the car, taking a picture as soon as I saw some car lights, traffic lights or any other bright lights.

Emulation Plan

The image was taken on a colour film camera, with an aperture of around F/11. The ISO of the image  is 200 and the shutter speed is 1/3. The composition shows the women as the main subject and the counter she's resting on go from focused to out of focus. The colours in this photograph are very warm and calming, the photo was taken in the golden hour, which make the colours richer and more vibrant.
 When I conduct my own shoot, I will try to keep the location the same, however it will be difficult to get the lighting the same, as it is rarely sunny in England. I will need a digital camera, so I can edit my picture easily to make the lighting as similar as possible to the picture. The shoot will take place as soon as the sun out in the evening.

William Eggleston



































































The similarities in these images is that they are all analogue, you see this from the grainy quality, these photos are also candid shot.
Furthermore, Eggleston is visible in most of these photographs from his shadows, which reminds us that the photograph was taken by the photographer.
