iz taken pix.



heh.. in the dark. on bulb. move camera. yeahhh... ha.

is that a point and shoot? if so I don't think you could make a long enough exposure, but if it is an SLR or something, I'd turn the shutter speed way down

how do I lower my shutter speed?

if you don't know how to do that, you have much more to figure out than long exposures.....

just light writing ot?

oh typo messed it up...

i said that my point and shoot can do long exposures but many of them can't.

what are you looking to do? just light writing or what?

there should be a few options that put the priority on aperture or shutter speed, maybe an "A" or and "S" in which case choose the s and lover it, make it be a few seconds, probably about 10 or 15, make sure you have a tripod as well

I have an example and quick explanation here

ooh, I can do that!

If you have a point-and-shoot, try and see if there's a Manual setting (usually indicated by an "M"). If it allows you to adjust the shutter speed, max it out. This also means you'll let in quite a bit of light, so increase the F-number (for aperture) until you get a decent exposure.



And if you wanna write letters like in that picture, you don't need a tripod

yay, I did it! =D

really @ peater? Because the grass and such is in focus. I would recommend the tripod, I mean I swear by it at night, at least.

Rargh!

oh yeah rolf, you could be right. I was thinking of doing the script with a stationary light and a moving camera.



like i did this one time:

I like doing this (:

Ooh, that's cool, Peter! How are the scribbles different colours?

It was multiple cars at a red light, basically. So there's the traffic light, street lights, red brake lights, building lights... and the coolest are the blinking turn signals, which become dotted patterns under long exposure

yep!

yeah lights are a lot of fun!

i love shots like these. i always take shots like these when i'm bored.
