Create Abstract Light Art by Snapping a Camera-Toss Photo


 
  






Faca voce mesmo este tipo de fotos muito simples e sem edicao alguma de photoshop


1. The camera

One with manual controls works best. Start with a shutter speed between ½ and 1 second. If the image is too dark, lower the f-stop to increase the aperture. Too bright? Use a higher f-stop.

2. The subject

Target a few bulbs or candles at least 3 inches apart (any closer and the lights will bleed together) and position yourself about 3 feet away — enough distance to keep the lights in the frame.

3. The toss

It can take up to ½ second for the shutter to engage after you press the button. Time it so the shutter opens just as the camera launches. Altitude? Six inches or so should do the trick.

4. The spin

Experiment. End-over-end creates linear patterns. On-axis spins give you spirographs. Feel free to go nuts; should your camera take a spill: It’s the perfect time of year to ask for a new one.
