light painting photos & Evaluation.
here are a gallery of images we done for light painting we done this in a group and took turns in modling,doing light painting,and taking the photo,i would say that some of theese went quit well ad some did not but it was a good lesson for the first light painting lesson we dne of taking light painting photos.But some of the photos where not composed well because some where not focused well or went well as well.the setting we had were f4 and f10.to improve these images i say we could of made them in focus and done the light painting images a bit better because some of them did not go to plan.the images where quit blury and the light painting images where mainly scribbled so we then tried to acctually try to draw images like wings on the side of the body with a halo above their persons head.
