Ghosting
. When you use a slow shutter speed light is recorded slowly
. Camera , tripod, or a very stedy surface
. Your subject will need to be completely still for 5 seconds , At the end of the 5 seconds, have the subject run out of the frame as fast as possible.
TWO IDEAS…Someone sitting down on a bench or grave
light painting
. The gist of light painting is, well you guessed it, to paint with light
. Camera , tri pod , and a very dark surrounding
. Adjust your camera settings so it’s using a long shutter speed
. painting a picture like flowers , smiley faces
Silky smooth water
. water in movement
. camera, tripod
. shutter speed of 1 to 2 seconds to get a nicely blurred water , the more the light the more time you would need more time
. water falling out of someones hand or water spilling on a smooth surface like the floor.

Light trails
The technique is allowing light trails in your photo. You need a camera that allows you to have control over exposure settings and those that allow you to choose longer shutter speeds. Might be necessary to have a tripod so the camera can stay in place. The way you should adjust your camera settings is changing the exposure settings and how much time is allowed in the shutter speed. Two ideas I have for this is sparklers as the light trail and also moving cars going over a bridge.
Ghosting
The use of this technique is to create a “ghostly” image. The needed equipment would be a tripod for stability. A low light setting and a person to be in the photo. The camera settings for the technique are you have to have the flash off, put your camera in Shutter Speed Priority mode and set the time for 10 seconds plus make the iso as low as possible. Two ideas are a cemetery and having someone run off the image or having a person sitting on a bench holding a hand of a ghost of a loved one.
Panning
Panning as a technique is that you pan your camera along in time with the moving subject and end up getting a relatively sharp subject but a blurred background which gives the shot a speedier look and feel. Have to a slow shutter speed, track the subject smoothly so it doesn’t become blurred. Some things you can do is have someone skating down someplace while everything is blurred in the back ground also a dog running.
December 8, 2014 at 10:44 am
Panning: with panning u wanna start at 1/30 if it doesn’t look right because of the light then play around with it. with this technique you follow the subject with the camera its a good technique for fast movement. you just need yourself its best if you have your arms in a 90 degree angle like a tripod and to keep them there. You adjust the photo by the shutter speed setting. A ball getting shot into a hoop, and throwing a football to a friend.
Ghosting: You will need a partner to stand in the camera still for 5 seconds then he runs out of the camera frame. You will need a camera and a tripod. You change the camera setting the same way. an idea can be someone standing still and when he runs out use the light, and another one is just have the person look like the flash when he runs out.
silky smooth water: You can either stop the image by using a fast shutter speed or you can use a long shutter speed to enhance the image and make it look smooth. All you need is a camera and a tripod. You adjust your camera settings by changing the mode into shutter priority mode. An idea is a water fountain , and a river or creek.

In ghosting you make a person seem like a ghost by slowing down the shutter speed and turning the flash off on the camera. You need a camera set on a steady surface, a low light setting, and a person. For this I can use my brothers playing soccer and one of them is ghosted out. I could also do a sad person with someone special to them ghosted out.
Light painting, you get some sort of light to move around and the camera is at a slow shutter speed so it captures the lights movement everywhere it went. You need a camera, steady surface, light source and dark setting. For light painting, I could have a laser pointer write out a word. I could also have my siblings pretend they are shooting light at each other.
When shooting Light Trails, you capture the trails that lights make in a dark setting. You will need a camera, steady surface and light source. On the camera you will need to slow down the shutter speed and may need to mess around with the apertures. For this I could get cars driving down a highway or have a light attached to a paper airplane that is in flight.

Ghost effect-
Ghosting is used to create a ghostly image, you can use it for all sorts of artistic photography. For ghosting, you’ll need a camera, tripod, a setting that is not super bright, and a person. For ghosting, you turn your flash off, set the camera to TV (time value) and set to a slower shutter speed. Two ideas for ghosting would be somebody sitting in a chair doing something, or an animal getting up to do something
Light painting-
The camera captures the light that is reflected from the differnet surfaces around you. For light painting, you’ll need a camera, tripod, and some sort of light source. Adjust your camera so you have a longer shutter speed. Some ideas for light painting would be a person shooting light towards something, or an object that is significantly brighter than the objects surrounding it.
Silky smooth waterfalls-
to get the silky smooth effect of a waterfall, you need to set a camera on a tripod and have the camera set with a slow shutter speed. You’ll need a camera, tripod and a water running down something. You would need to have a decent iso to have the clarity of the photo, yet a slow shutter speed to capture the silky effect.
December 8, 2014 at 1:56 pm
1. ghosting staying in place then moving.
2. lighting the paths.
3. weird water how you make water smoggy.
December 8, 2014 at 2:05 pm
For ghosting you take the picture wait 5seconds and yell run to your person then they will get up and run out of the camera for the next 5seconds then it will close. Your camera, mounted on a tripod or set on something very steady. A low-light setting in which to take the photo. Turn your flash off, Put your camera in Shutter Speed Priority mode, Set the time for 10 seconds if you can. If your camera indicates that 10 seconds is too long, make sure your ISO is at 100. If it can go lower, set it lower. If not, reduce the time to the lowest it’ll allow. Fallen soldier or a Tire.
For light painting you take a photo of a object with lights in shapes coming out of it or around it. You need a Camera, Tri-Pod and a light. You set the camera to have a specific shutter speed then you take the picture and have the lights move. Tracing a car, or animal.
December 8, 2014 at 2:09 pm
The technique is light painting and you use lights for this.
Camera, lights, and several people you adjust the camera by setting the seconds and the shooter speed at 1/40.ghosting & light painting.
December 8, 2014 at 2:09 pm
Describing this technique is having somebody in the photo and part way through move out. supplies would be tripod and slow shutter speed. you would change the TV shutter speed for this. having a person in the picture or an object.
Describing this technique is having slow shutter speed and moving a light around. What supplies would be a light and camera. you would change the shutter speed. 2 concepts are welding machines and welding.
Describing this technique is having ow shutter speed and a light moving. supplies would be a light. lower shutter speed yo adjust. 2 concepts cars and bike light.
December 8, 2014 at 2:13 pm
I choose light painting. This technique is capturing light. You need a tripod, some current light source and a camera. You would go to Tv and adjust the shutter speed. One of my ideas would be like a word, another one would be like having powers and shooting light at them.
Silky smooth water. This technique is taking pics of water moving. You need a digital camera and a tripod. You would adjust the shutter speed and get a shutter speed of 1 to 2 seconds. One of them could be like a water balloon that has been popped, or like a waterfall.
Light trails. The technique makes the light look like there’s a trail. You need a camera and a tripod. You would change the shutter speed settings. You could take a picture off a bridge or like someone running with glow sticks or sparklers.
December 8, 2014 at 2:13 pm
Light painting: You create long streaks of light that can take any shape or form. The camera captures the light that is reflected from the different surfaces around you. You need a camera, tri-pod, lights, and people. You would go to “Tv” on the camera and either lower or raise it for a fast or slower shutter speed. Lights coming off of a person, and using a person kicking someone a light coming off of it. Light trails: photographing light trails involves finding a spot where you’ll see the light trails created. You will need a camera, and tri-pod. Shooting with shorter exposure times while the camera is in the frame can be effective. Someone riding a bike and trailing Christmas lights behind them, and someone running and making swirls behind them with a glow stick. Silky smooth water: You can freeze the motion by using a fast shutter speed and secondly they can capture and enhance the motion by using a longer shutter speed that blurs the moving element in the shot (in this case – water). You need a camera, and tri-pod. Taking a series of shots at different shutter speeds and apertures. I found that in doing this that I could capture a variety of very different images of exactly the same scene with changes in the extent that the water blurred, changes in the depth of field and changes in the way the camera captured color. Waterfalls and creeks.
December 8, 2014 at 4:45 pm
Light painting: This technique captures the movement of light. Equipment needed would be the camera, a tripod, and any type of lights. You would adjust the camera setting by adjusting the shutter speed to make it even longer. 2 concepts I have for shooting this technique would be light shooting out of my converse and lights shooting out of an oven.
Ghosting: The technique is making a person see through but still being able to see them. Supplies you need would be your camera, a tripod, a low light setting and a person. For the setting you would turn your flash off, put your shutter speed priority mode, last set your timer for 10sec. but if your camera doesn’t do that then turn your ISO to 100 but if it can go lower then make it lower. 2 concepts I have for shooting this technique would be someone opening a door with people walking behind them and have someone sitting at the computer and ghost the person so you can see the computer between them.
Silky smooth water: The technique is getting a sharp subject but making the background blurred. All you need for this is your camera. You would adjust your camera settings by selecting a slightly slower shutter speed, as the subject approaches track it smoothly with your camera, for best results set yourself up so that you’re parallel to the path and then if you have automatic focus tracking you can let the camera do the focusing for you by half pressing the shutter button (depending on the speed). 2 concepts I have for shooting this technique is someone on a skateboard and someone jumping off a roof.
December 8, 2014 at 5:06 pm
Light painting: This technique captures the movement of light. Equipment needed would be the camera, a tripod, and any type of lights. You would adjust the camera setting by adjusting the shutter speed to make it even longer. 2 concepts have one person shooting lights out of their fingers. Then have someone holding a bat like they are swinging it, and make the lights make it look like the bat is swinging fast.
Ghosting: The technique is making a person see through but still being able to see them. Supplies you need would be your camera, a tripod, a low light setting and a person. For the setting you would turn your flash off, put your shutter speed priority mode, last set your timer for 10sec. but if your camera doesn’t do that then turn your ISO to 100 but if it can go lower then make it lower. 2 concepts would be to have someone sitting on a step looking sad, and then have it looking like they are walking away. Then for another could have someone driving but them as a ghost.
Silky smooth water: The technique is getting a sharp subject but making the background blurred. All you need for this is your camera. You would adjust your camera settings by selecting a slightly slower shutter speed, as the subject approaches track it smoothly with your camera, for best results set yourself up so that you’re parallel to the path and then if you have automatic focus tracking you can let the camera do the focusing for you by half pressing the shutter button (depending on the speed). 2 concepts would be too go up to Moulton falls and take a picture of the water going over the rocks. Another would be water coming out of a gutter downspout.

ghosting is when you use slow shutter speed, so light is recorded slowly creatting the ghosting affect. supplies/ equipment needed are a camera mounted on a tripod, a low light setting to take the photo, and a person. You have to have your flash OFF, put your camera in shutter speed priority mode, set the timer to 10 seconds if you can If your camera indicates that 10 seconds is too long, make sure your ISO is at 100. If not, reduce the time to the lowest it’ll allow. 2 concepts: person sitting on a bench or just a person o the swings.
light painting you need to have your shutter speed slow and then move light within your photo. first thing you need is a camera, a tripod, and a light source. Adjust the camera settings so it’s using a long shutter speed and use a timer to set the camera off. 2 concepts: you can make a person blasting something, or you can use the lights to paint a scene
panning is capturing a sharp object but with a blurred background, it gives the shot a feeling of movement and speed. supplies/materials needed is a camera. select a slower shutter speed start with 1/30 second and then play around with slower ones. 2 concepts: i person skating, or biking
December 9, 2014 at 10:18 am
1. Light painting- Moving your light source is one technique and another technique is moving the camera to capture lighting. The supplies needed for this technique is a camera, a tripod, and a light source. I would need to adjust the camera to long shutter speed and use a timer to set the camera off. The two concepts are using a timer to set the camera, also the camera will not capture you because the movement we create is too fast.
2. Silky smooth Water- This technique works with movement of the water. The supplies needed for this technique is a shutter priority mode on camera, and a tripod. I would adjust the camera settings using filters, aperture priority mode, and a low ISO. The two concepts for shooting this technique is bracketing your shoots, and capturing it from different angles to which the waterfall directs to.
3. Panning-This technique puts the subject into focus and the background blurry. The supplies need for this technique is a camera and a tripod. I would need to select a slow shutter speed and track the subject as its going by. Two concepts about this technique is that if flash will only work if subject is close by and to have a automatic focusing on the camera.

Ghosting
Is where you make someone seem in a ghost appearance like in area, a tripod and your camera you’ll have to set your camera to slow shutter speed. You can set to low lighting and use a timer best is 10 seconds. To place where you lost a love one or to be scary.
Light painting
Where you use lights and it creates a form around an object or person. The main 3 are a camera and a tripod also little lights. Slow shutter speed to camera settings, creating a dark aura or funny designs.
Light trails
Lights created from cars lights in a road or traffic. Camera, tripod and lens hood, maybe. Setting to slow shutter speed which is on TV. You can use to show a trail of a place and lights leading to it ,Involves cars.
December 9, 2014 at 10:26 am
Light Painting is when you capture the light that is reflected form difference surfaces around you. To create this effect you move whatever light you are using. To capture light painting you need a dark environment and some sort of bright light source. You will also need a camera and tripod. You would adjust your camera settings by using a long shutter speed and a long timer. Two concepts I have for this shooting technique are painting around a guitar and having light come out of someone’s hands.
Light trails are captured when you photograph lights that come together. This effect makes the light in your photo turn into a long line/trail. The supplies that are needed for this technique are a tripod and a camera. To create this shot you need to create a long shutter speed on your camera settings. Two concepts I have for shooting this technique are cars on a bridge and cars turning on a corner.
Ghosting is when you take a photo of someone that moves out of the frame which makes them look like a ghost. The supplies and equipment you need to create this effect are a camera and tripod. You need to adjust your camera settings to create a slow shutter speed. Two concepts I have for this shooting technique are someone swinging and someone in a tree house.
December 9, 2014 at 10:27 am
Water fall: The waterfall will look very smooth in this technique, but also blurs the moving elements. You will need a tripod and shutter priority mode for this technique. To take a picture of a waterfall you would have to set the camera on full auto mode. Your camera will most likely choose an exposure that will somewhat freeze the water. Two concepts that could be used are a photo of a stream or a pond that will shows ripples.
Light trails: This technique shows moving lights, over time and it makes them look like they are moving along the road or other object they are lighting. You really only need equipment that is needed is a camera that allows you to control the shutter speed. You adjust the camera by making sure it’s on the shutter speed control setting. Two concepts using light trails could be street lights. Or brake light going down a windy road.
Panning: This technique is used when the main point is in focus, but the background is moving and blurred due to the moving background. You would need a tripod for this technique. This photo also depends on the speed of the object. You adjust the setting with TV setting on the camera. Two concepts that use panning could be one car that is in focus, with other cars blurred so they still look like they are moving, or a BMX rider in the middle on the trick. With a moving background.
December 9, 2014 at 10:29 am
Panning: This technique involves choosing a focal point and following it as it moves in order to blur the background but keep the focal point in focus. One piece of equipment that would be very useful in this would be a tripod because then you can follow the focal point without blurring it because of the camera shaking. For this technique I would lower the shutter speed slightly and slowly adjust it to follow the focal point the way I want. Two Ideas I have for this technique is someone riding a skateboard and my dog running in the grass.
Silky smooth water: This technique involves lowering the shutter speed of a camera and then taking a picture of running water while the camera is on a tripod so the water will slightly blur and begin to look soft. To use this technique the only equipment you need is a camera, tripod, and running water. For this technique you would adjust your shutter speed and then possibly your aperture and ISO to change the light in the photo. Two ideas of photos to use this technique would be a picture of a water fall or water being poured into a glass.
Light trails: This technique involves setting your shutter speed in order to leave it open for a long time and then put it on a tripod to take a photo of lights that are following an object like a cart that will leave a trail of light. To take photos using light trails you need to have a tripod, a camera and a source of light that is traveling which would leave a trail of light when the photo is taken. For this technique you want to adjust your shutter speed to be open for a long time and then also adjust your exposure in order to make the light more interesting and avoid other light that may be distracting. Two ideas that I have for this technique is to put glow sticks on a string and pull it on a skateboard, or take a flashing light and have someone run with it on their back so it looks like they left a cookie trail instead of a complete trail following them.
December 9, 2014 at 10:38 am
1. GHOSTING- TRIPOD, A PERSON, A LOW LIGHT SETTING IN WHICH TO TAKE THE PHOTO. TURN YOUR FLASH OFF, PUT CAMERA IN THE SHUTTER SPEEDS LOW ENOUGH IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK, BEST RESULT FOR 8 SECONDS. USING MY BABY SISTER AND PUTTING HER IN THE CLOSET, AND HAVING HER SIT ON THE FRONT PORCH.
2. STAR LIGHTING-TRIPOD, A CABLE RELEASE, FULLY CHARGED CAMERA, LOCATION. IT IS SAID TO LOCATE THE NORTH STAR BECAUSE ALL THE STARS WILL SURROUND IT, BEFORE TAKING THE PICTURE IN THE DAY SET THE CAMERA IN FOCUS BUT MUST TAKE AUTO FOCUS OFF SO THAT THE CAMERA DOES NOT TRY TO RE- FOCUS AT NIGHT, PHOTO STABILIZATION SHOULD BE OFF ANYTIME THE CAMERA IS ON THE TRIPOD, SHUTTER SPEED MUST BE 30 SECONDS AND A SMALL APERTURE SUCH AS F/4, PROPER EXPOSURE WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE ISO, ALSO MAKE SURE YOU TURN OFF YOUR IN- CAMERA NOISE REDUCTION OFF BECAUSE IT WILL REQUIRE AN ADDITIONAL 30 SECONDS, THEN YOU COMBINE YOUR IMAGES THROUGH A FREE PROGRAM CALLED STARSTAX. GOING TO A FOREST OR TO MY GRANDMOTHERS BACKYARD BECAUSE OF THE OPEN SPACE AND BIG LAND THAT SHE HAS.
3. SILKY SMOOTH WATER- CAMERA SET IN FAST SHUTTER SPEED AND LONG SHUTTER SPEED, TRIPOD, TIME AND PATIENCE. SWITCH CAMERA TO AUTO MODE, MAKE SURE FLASH IS TURNED OFF. WATERFALLS AND WATER FOUNTAINS AT A PARK.
December 9, 2014 at 10:41 am
1. Light painting- Moving your light source is one technique and another technique is moving the camera to capture lighting. The supplies needed for this technique is a camera, a tripod, and a light source. I would need to adjust the camera to long shutter speed and use a timer to set the camera off. The two concepts I learned from this technique is that the camera compensates for the lack of light by using a longer shutter speed and I wouldn’t be visible because I move to fast for the light to capture me.
2. Silky smooth Water- This technique works with movement of the water. The supplies needed for this technique is a shutter priority mode on camera, and a tripod. I would adjust the camera settings using filters, aperture priority mode, and a low ISO. The two concepts for shooting this technique is bracketing your shoots, and capturing it from different angles to which the waterfall directs to.
3. Panning-This technique puts the subject into focus and the background blurry. The supplies need for this technique is a camera and a tripod. I would adjust my camera settings to slower shutter speed than usual and track track the camera as its moving. The two concepts are using flash will only work if the subject is close and find the subject parallel to you.
December 9, 2014 at 10:41 am
Star trails is one thing I have in mind it would make a cool background behind a forest or behind a tree would also be really cool. The technique with star trails is focusing on the point of view and then have the stars moving so they look kind of blurry. The items you need for this is light beams or something that is shining light and then something to shoot it at. You need to adjust the turn thing on the camera to TV and then focus on the light and then blur the background.
Ghosting is when you use slow shutter speed light and then slow down your point of view. The supplies you need is the camera, tripod, and then a person or something to make a ghost. You turn your flash off, and put your camera in Shutter Speed Priority and then you make sure that your seconds on the camera is set to 10 seconds, then put your ISO to 100 or you can go lower if needed. Two concepts I have for shooting like this is making someone like jump from the other person and then ghost the person jumping from the other one. I also like the idea of someone riding something so I was thinking having my sister putting her pedal on her bike and then look like she is about to ride it.
Light Panting is when you have a dark background or something that’s dark and then having a source of light and then moving it somehow so that the pictures capture your light movement. The sources you need for this particular photo idea is a camera, a tripod, and a light source of some kind. The setting you need the most on your camera to work and take the best photo is your shutter speed and you don’t really need any kind of special camera you just need a camera that can capture this light. Two things that I have in mind is that take the picture in my bathroom with all the lights off and then shine the light to my mirror and make some kind of movement with it to make a cool figure of the light.
December 9, 2014 at 12:24 pm
Light painting is when you move a light source (such as a flashlight) through a shot to create an image in slow shutter speed. To do this you need a light source, a camera that supports slow shutter speeds, and a tripod or a flat surface to put your camera on. Before taking this shot you would want to change your camera’s shutter speed to a longer span of time, and if you are taking this photo yourself you may want to put a timer on the shot. The first idea that I have for this concept is making it looks as if someone is crying light. Another idea that I have is drawing musical notes around someone playing an instrument.
Light trails are when a light source in the shot is being moved (by someone/something that is not under your control) to create trails of light in slow shutter speed. To do this you need a light source that is in motion, a camera that supports slow shutter speed, and a tripod or a flat surface to put your camera on. Before taking this shot you would want to change your camera’s shutter speed to a longer span of time, you may want to adjust you aperture/ISO first too. One idea that I have is taking a photo of cars on a highway on a rainy day so it also may create the silky smooth water effect. Another idea that I have is to take a shot of a plane taking off or landing near the airport at night (or whenever it is dark).
“Silky Smooth Water” is created when you capture a moving water source (usually moving vertically) in slow shutter speed, it makes the water look extremely smooth and soft looking. You will need a camera that supports slow shutter speed and a tripod. Before taking this show you will need to change your camera’s shutter speed to a longer span of time, and you may want to adjust your aperture and ISO also. One idea that I have is to take a photo of a storm drain when it is raining. Another idea that I have is to go visit one of the waterfalls near here and take some photos there.
December 9, 2014 at 12:46 pm
Light painting: Technique that is used by moving a light source to create a design. You could move the camera but this creates a photo that is all mostly blurry. A camera, tripod, and a light source are needed for this technique. The shutter speed will need to be adjusted to a slower time, such as four seconds, to capture this effect. Using the TV setting on the camera and then changing the shutter speed allows you to create this effect. I can shoot my sister’s guitar and a vase.
Ghostly: This technique allows a subject to show up as a “ghost”, blending into the background. To do this, a camera and tripod is needed. Putting the camera into shutter speed priority mode and changing the shutter speed so that the shutter speed is slow. Having the subject sit for about five seconds and then moving allows the camera to capture the subject as a “ghost”. I would take this photo in the forest or on a train track.
Silky smooth water: This technique captures water moving and makes it appear as a blur. For this technique, a camera and tripod will be needed. Change the shutter speed on the shutter priority mode to about one to two seconds. This will allow the shutter to stay open to capture the movement of the water. I would shoot this shot at a river or my uncles back yard.
December 9, 2014 at 12:46 pm
Star Trails
Take a photo of the trail of a Star You have to travel to the mountains, a place where the city lights exists, you need a special lens and a tripod
You can adjust the camera for two seconds and click the shutter continuously for half an hour
Stars and more stars
Light Trails
Capture the movement of the light Your camera, lights, and dark environment shutter speeds between 10 and 20 seconds start with something around f/8 Cars, airplanes

David izoita per 3
Light Painting. The technique is to not move the light to fast and contrasted lights. The supplies/equipment that are needed for this technique are tripod and dark room. You would adjust your camera settings by lowering the shutter speed. 2 concepts I have for shooting this technique is to make a bed where someone is sleeping and to make a track for someone walking.
Ghosting. The technique is to have the person there for part of the time. The supplies/equipment that are needed for this technique are tripod and a place for the person to be. You would adjust your camera settings by lowering the shutter speed. 2 concepts I have for shooting this technique is to have someone sitting on a bench and someone leaning against the wall.
Light Trails. The technique is to do it in the dark. The supplies/equipment that are needed for this technique are tripod and a place to be trailing. You would adjust your camera settings by lowering the shutter speed. 2 concepts I have for shooting this technique is to make a trail of an arrow and to make a trail of a ball.
December 9, 2014 at 12:53 pm
Panning:
It is a technique that creates the feeling of movement and speed. You need a digital camera and a tripod, use the time value setting in the camera and start with 1/30 seconds then slower depending on the lighting and the speed of the object. For this technique I can take photos of a driving car on the street and a walking person.
Ghosting:
This is a technique that makes the viewer can see through an object (person). You need a digital camera and a tripod, use the time value setting and set the time as slow as you can and make sure the ISO is at 100 and flash should be turned off. For this technique , I will take photos of a person sitting and writing on a piece a paper like a ghost and 2 people sitting on a piano and one of them is going to be normal while the other will be the ghost.
Light Painting:
This is a technique that makes the viewer see that the light can be used to paint. You need a digital camera, a tripod, and a light source, set the shutter speed in your camera as long as possible. For this technique , I will take photos of the light going around a person and a photo of a shape or picture created by light.

5 Aiden Ahrens
Ghosting:
Have the person stay in place for 5 seconds and then move as quickly as possible out of the shot. The camera mounted on a tripod or on something completely steady. A low lighting and a person. Turn the flash off and put in slow shutter speed for 10 seconds. You could have like a ghost crying or hugging someone crying.
Light Painting
You paint light in the dark. A camera mounted to a tripod and a light source. You would put your camera on slow shutter speed. Paint a heart frame around someone or paint a meaningful word.
Panning
Everything blurry in motion except the object of focus. No supplies need for this technique except a tripod. Adjust the camera’s f-stop.
December 9, 2014 at 12:55 pm
Light trails
This technique is where you change the exposure to make lines with light at night, or in the dark. You just need a tripod, and a camera that has some control over exposure. You would adjust the camera settings to a longer shutter speed. Two concepts for this technique are taking a photo of headlights on cars that are driving down the highway, and someone riding a bike that has a light.
Light Painting
Light painting is basically painting with light in dark scenes. A tripod and some sort of light source is needed for this technique. You can change your settings by adjusting to long shutter speed and if needed adding a timer. Two concepts for this technique are shooting light at someone or drawing a word in the air with a sparkler.
Panning
You pan your camera along in time with the moving subject and get a sharp subject but blurred background. There are no supplies needed for this technique, other than a tripod. You would adjust your camera settings by changing the shutter speed, f-stop, and just focusing it. Two concepts for this technique are taking a photo of a person riding a bike down the highway, and a dog running.
December 9, 2014 at 12:58 pm
Light trails have eye catching results. This is good with experimenting with shooting in low light at longer exposure. Light trails are usually created by lights on a moving object, mostly cars. The supplies needed are not very specific but you have to have a camera that allows you to have some control over the exposure settings. You also need a tripod or something to keeps your camera completely still. When you are shooting with this technique you usually want to have a shutter speed anywhere from 10 to 20 seconds so you give the cars time to move through the frame. If your shots are over exposed, increase the f-stop number on your camera. 2 concepts I have for this technique are maybe a curve in the road on a highway, but I don’t know what exact highway and maybe an intersection near my house.
Light painting is when the camera captures the light that is reflected from the different surfaces around you. The equipment you need for this technique is a camera that allows you to control the overall quality of the photo and the adjustments of shutter speed. You also need a tripod to keep your camera steady and a light source to create your “painting”. When adjusting your camera for this technique you want to use a long shutter speed so your camera can catch as much light as it can, and have a timer so your camera will snap the picture when the time is up. 2 concepts I have for this technique are a light leading a person foot to the soccer ball but the lights having many different colors, and drawing a word in the sky or on a blank wall.
Ghosting is when you use slow shutter speed and light is recorded slowly by the camera to create a “ghostly” image. The equipment you need is a tripod to steady your camera, a place that has low light because too much light can make it difficult to get the shutter speed. You will also need a person to ghost in your photo. When you take this photo, you want to turn your flash off then turn your camera on shutter speed priority mode, which allows you to choose your shutter speed. Set your timer around 10 seconds so your camera has time to take the shot. 2 concepts I have for this technique is to ghost a boy who is swinging on a swing and a person staring into a mirror and a ghost appearing in the mirror.

Light Painting:
You can create light painting by being in a dark environment with a light source and moving the light source. This creates light streaks that you can turn into shapes or words. Another technique is moving the camera which will make the image blurry but an abstract effect will be created. You will need 3 things for this technique and they are: a camera, tripod, and a light source. In order to create the effect, you would adjust your shutter speed. You would need to have a slower shutter speed so that the shutter would stay open longer and enough light can be captured. One thing you could do with this technique is to use sparklers and write words or create shapes around a subject. Another thing you could do is use steel wool to create an interesting looking vortex.
Panning:
Panning is when you move the camera along in time with the moving subject that you are capturing. This will help you capture a sharp subject but a blurred background. For this technique, you will need a camera and a moving subject. A monopod/tripod is optional. To adjust your camera settings, select a slower shutter speed and play around with that until the lighting and the subject is to your liking. A concept for this technique would be to have a person running on a track. I would capture the person running using panning to make the background blurred and the subject in motion. Another concept would be to capture a motorcycle while it’s driving on the road.
Light Trails:
This technique is when you set your camera to have longer exposures and you shoot the light trails of cars or other moving objects in low light. For this technique, you will need a camera and a tripod. A lens hood and a remote shutter release cable/wireless remote control is also useful to have. To capture a photo using this technique you will need to set your shutter speed between 10 and 20 seconds. Also, you would want to set your aperture to somewhere in the midrange. You could play around with these settings until you get something that works. One concept to use with this technique would be to capture the light trails of cars in a city from a point of view that is higher than the cars. Another concept would be to capture the light trails of cars from a low/ant’s eye point of view.

Light painting- the camera captures the light that reflects from the surfaces around you. More light that gets reflected is easier for the camera to take as well. You need to set your camera to a longer shutter speed because the more seconds creates more time to get any light you choose to cause an affect. I’m going to get some of my friends and have them shoot a ball of light out of there hand and hit someone else. Have someone shoot light out of there hand and have it trace around an object. Have someone shoot light at an object.
Ghosting- you make something look invisible the way you take the picture. You need a camera, tripod and a friend or someone willing to help you. You need to adjust your camera setting by using slow shutter speed and in order to do that you put the knob to TV and change the time to how ever many seconds you need. I’m going to take a picture of someone knuckle touching. Also I’m going have my mom and sister high five.
Light trails- you take pictures of something moving and the camera captures the light slowly of all of it. You need a camera that you can have TV on then change the shutter speed to a couple seconds whatever helps your photo. You change the amount of seconds you want to adjust the camera settings. Two concepts are shooting a high way with cars. Also someone riding a bike with a flashlight.

I chose the panning technique because it allows you to produce an amazing result by panning your camera along in time with the moving subject to end up getting a sharp and steady object but also a blurred background; which I found most interesting. You will need a camera with automatic focus tracking, a person with an object; preferably a scooter or a moving vehicle of some kind, and a tripod or mono-pod to hold up your camera during the panning period, a nice background for your shot. First of all, in order to do this panning technique, you will need to slightly adjust a slower shutter speed than you normally would start with; like a 1/30 second, for example. Since hopefully you will have a camera with automatic focus tracking, you can let the camera do the focusing for you by doing the half pressing on the shutter button so that it’s speed and whether can keep up with the subject in motion. Now, if you won’t be able to get a camera with the automatic focus tracking or if your camera isn’t fast enough with auto focusing, you’ll need to pre-focus your camera depending upon the spot that you will end up releasing the shutter. If you have an older digital camera that you will be using for this technique, or one that has more of an entry level point and can shoot of variety, well you would technically have to contend with the dreaded shutter lag problem. ‘What is shutter lag?’ You may ask. Shutter lag is when there is a slight delay from when you press the shutter to when the picture is actually taken. If you are using panning for the first time, you should approach it with an experimental attitude. A good way to practice panning is to head out to a busy part of your city or town or practice on passing traffic. Who knows, maybe out there you could find a never ending supply of ideas and subjects that you could use for this panning technique. You should also keep in mind that is unlikely that your main subject will ever be completely sharp and in focus. So don’t try to beat yourself up about it just in case if your image isn’t perfect. Some blurring of your main subject can surprisingly add a lot to the feeling of motion in the photo.
The reason why I chose to use the ghostly technique was because this specific technique is just all about using the shutter speed priority mode and setting the time for 10 seconds; that’s pretty much it. I kept thinking to myself how simple it sounded to get such an amazing and intricate image, so I decided that I wanted to test this theory of mine out; to see if it was this easy. For this technique, you will need a camera with a tripod so that you can mount it down, a low light setting in which to take the photo, and a person to use as a subject for your image. The adjustments on your camera should start with turning your camera off; then, putting your camera in shutter speed priority mode; after that, set the time for 10 seconds if you can, or set it lower if possible. When you are taking the photo, your subject or the person who will be the ghost in the photo will need to be completely still for 5 seconds. At the end of that five seconds they will need to run out of the frame as fast as they can; it’s best to run at a right angle to the camera, either to the left or right but not towards it. When the rest of the 10 seconds will pass, the other 5, you will hear the shutter close and then you are finished. Check the results and you may need to either decrease or increase the amount of time the subject or person stays in the shot. Reason being is because the more time they are in there, the less ghostly they appear. Now, if you are taking an image of yourself, just click the shutter, run into the shot and take position as fast as possible. Count in your head, then run out. Basically, get in and out of your position in 8.5 seconds, exactly.
The last technique that I wanted to try was light painting because it can capture the light that is reflected from the different surfaces around us. Plus, I already tried it before, so I thought it would be fun to try it again. You will need a camera, a tripod, and a light source for this project. Now it’s time to adjust the camera settings so that it is using a long shutter speed. Also, you will need to use a timer to set the camera off. Because the lights that you will or should be using are a lot brighter than the environment your camera will register it a lot better. While you are running in front of the camera or trying it out, you will be a ghost on the image it based on the adjustments that you put on your camera. So technically there is no need to worry about showing up in your picture. The movement that you created is probably going too fast for the camera to register, which leaves only the lines that the lights create to become fully visible.

The first technique I chose was light painting. Light painting is when you move a light source and it makes a bunch of different interesting lines and streaks. Or you could move your camera and you will pretty much get the same technique. The supplies and equipment to be able to do this is a camera, tripod, and a light source. You have to put your camera on shutter speed and because there will be hardly any light you have to leave the shutter speed open for a long time. The first concept I have is using colorful lights and telling people to painting a picture and the second idea is doing wool and steel
The next technique I would like to do is ghosting. Ghosting is when you use slow shutter speed and tell a person to move from one spot to another. To make this image you need a camera set up on a tripod or something really steady. You also need low light. Lastly you need a person. In your settings you have to turn off the flash, put your camera in shutter speed priority mode, and lastly set the timer for 10 seconds and if the camera says it’s too long then change your iso to a lower number. If it doesn’t let you then reduce the time. For this photo I could go to a graveyard and that would make a really cool creepy picture. And my second idea is to pretend that the person is dead and place them around things they love but ghost them.
The last technique I would like to try is star trails. This technique is when you leave your camera open for a long time at night pointing toward the sky and taking a couple pictures then putting the pictures on top of each other to make a star trail. Also a couple things to remember are: you have to be away from all lights, have a good sense of place, make sure the moon isn’t above the horizon and lastly it has to be a clear night with no clouds. To complete this picture some things you will need are: a tripod, a cable released or intervalometer, set a timer for 2seconds continuously for 30 min, and lastly a full battery. The first thing I need to do to take this picture is go exploring for a nice spot with no light but a pretty scene with no clouds. Then the next night come back to that same spot and take the picture.

1. Panning:
Panning is when you pan your camera along in time with the moving subject and end up with a blurred background and sharp subject. The supplies that you will need is a tripod, preferably with a swiveling head to make the image smooth. You would make the shutter speed slower than you normally would and focus on the spot that the image will end. Two concepts I have for shooting this technique are someone riding a bike and my dog running.
2. Light Painting:
Light painting is basically just painting with light. You will need a tripod and a light source. You will need to use a long shutter speed and a timer. You can either move the camera or move your light source. Two concepts for shooting this technique are Christmas lights and a flashlight.
3. Light trails:
Light trails are when lights leave a trail behind them. You will need a tripod and a camera that you change the shutter speed settings on. My two concepts are cars moving or a bike with lights.

Silky smooth water is making moving water seem like it’s almost like cloth. You would set your shutter mode to priority mode. Water coming out of a bottle, rain.
Ghosting is making the effect of a ghost. You would have to turn your flash off, put your shutter speed in priority mode, and it has to be a person. Someone running, someone jumping.
Light trails are trails of light in a photo. You need to adjust your aperture and shutter speed. I think that a car and bikes would be a good idea.
December 9, 2014 at 1:48 pm
Ghosting is making it look like a person isn’t there so you can see through them
camera mounted on tripod, a low light, and a human being :v
Turn your flash off.
Put your camera in Shutter Speed Priority mode. (In this mode, you can choose the shutter speed, but the camera will do the rest so the photo will come out properly exposed, etc.)
Set the time for 10 seconds if you can. If your camera indicates that 10 seconds is too long, make sure your ISO is at 100. If it can go lower, set it lower. If not, reduce the time to the lowest it’ll allow.

Ghosting:
Ghosting is when you use slow shutter speed to make a picture of someone look translucent. For ghosting you will need a camera, a tripod, a low light environment, & a person. For camera settings you will need your flash to be off, your camera I shutter speed priority mode, & and the time set for 10 sec. 2 concepts for ghosting could be hiding behind a creek in a door or hiding under a bed.
Light Painting:
Light painting is where you use slow shutter speed and lights in a low light environment to create an image of floating lights. For light painting you will need a camera, a tripod, a light source, and a low light environment. Set the camera for 10 sec. 2 ideas could be painting a grotto or painting people.
Silky Smooth Water:
Silky smooth water is when you use slow shutter speed to take a picture of running water. Supplies needed are a camera, a tripod, & a timer. You adjust your camera by using Shutter Priority Mode, filters, and ISO. You could get a shot of a huge water fall or a tiny stream.
December 9, 2014 at 1:53 pm
this technique has someone in the photo then leaves with in the secounds that you have selected
you have to have a slow shutter speed and a moving light around. the supplies that are need are a light and a camera and a partner ( your choice ) you would also change shutter speed. theres 2 concept are welding machines and welding
this technique is having a low shutter speed and a light moving. supplies would be light, lower shutter speed ( your adjustment ).l 2 concepts cars and bike light
December 9, 2014 at 1:53 pm
jaime aguilar per 6
for ghosting you need a person to stand in front of the camera then tell them to run then it will take the pic and the iso has to be at 100 or less

For light painting you take a photo of a object with lights in shapes coming out of it or around it. You need a Camera, Tri-Pod and a light. You set the camera to have a specific shutter speed then you take the picture and have the lights move. Tracing a car or animal.

Ghost affect is the affect of using a very precise and slow shutter speed. This technique really interested me and I would like to try it, although it looks difficult I would love to attempt to try it! Some supplies and equipment you need to do this is your camera of course, a tripod or something that won’t be moving around, low light, and yourself or somebody to use. One thing you have to do is turn off your flash, put your camera on shutter speed, and set it for ten seconds, or the lowest it can time. Some things I would do for this photo,is have my sister in a dress,running,which would give it an eerie look. Another would possibly have cars driving by, and a ghostly photo.
Another one im very interested in is shoot light trails! I saw this and immediately though it was fake but in the end it truly wasn’t! some supplies you need is anything that trails light, glow sticks or flashlights and a person to use the lights! Its easy.You adjust your camera using .You would need to use a camera a tripod to keep it steady as well using and the mode needs to be a manual mode or shutter mode. Two concepts would be to use cars, any lights, or anything quick glowing movement that you dont control but something else does.
Lastly,one that im interested in is the light painting.It is where you,yourself create the lines,shapes or anything else for the picture,and some supplies you need to use is a person,steady,glow sticks or flashlights.The camera mode needs to have a shutter speed,with no lighting so it can correctly get the shapes and any of the light from your item. The reason for this is because if it catches any other light it will not look so good and you’ll be able to see it, a dark room is for the best.Some techniques i can use this with is creating shapes,or creating just random lines to make it look unique and different.

Panning is when you pan your camera along in time with the moving subject and end up with the subject being in focus but the background is blurred. What you need for this technique is a camera, tripod, and a subject. You would adjust the shutter speed to a slower speed than normal, start with 1/30 second but you will probably end up using anything between 1/60 and 1/8. Two concepts I have are my brother on his bike or someone on the trampoline.
Ghosting is when you take a photo of someone and you can see through them as if they are a “ghost”. What you need for this technique is a camera, a tripod, a low light setting, and a person. How you would adjust your camera settings is first turn your flash off, set the time for 10 seconds (if you can), and set the ISO so it’s at 100 or lower. Two concepts I have is someone giving someone a hug and someone laying down and then getting up.
Light painting is when you paint with light using anything that has a light source inside somewhere dark. What you need for this technique is a camera, a tripod, and a light source. How you would adjust your camera setting is adjust the shutter speed so it’s on the slowest speed your camera will go, to let most of the light in.
December 9, 2014 at 9:24 pm
Light painting is moving your light source so you can make some sort of shape or streak. A second way you can do this is moving your camera. This technique will usually always have a blur but it creates an abstract look. The supplies needed for this technique is a camera that you are able to change the shutter speed and the aperture. You’ll also need a tripod so then you can reduce the motion blur in the photo. Lastly, you’ll need a light source so you’ll be able to draw or produce the type of light form you’re looking for. To do this technique you would adjust your camera setting by making the shutter speed longer and changing the ISO. Two concepts that I have for shooting this technique is by drawing tons of star like shapes and by drawing lines that come out of objects.
Silky smooth water is the technique of water still moving while the photo takes its picture and it sort of gives the impression that the water is still moving even though its obviously not. The supplies needed for this is a tripod and camera you can change shutter speed on. To do this technique you would need to change the ISO to make sure your photos don’t become too over exposed and the shutter speed to a longer one so you can take a in motion photograph also, you’ll need to take a photo of the river or waterfall you’ll be using on an automatic setting and you’ll use that exposure as a reference. Two concepts that I have to shoot this technique is by making water pour down a fountain. Another idea could be to go to a waterfall and take a picture there.
Light trails is the technique of using the light source (Usually cars) and taking the photo and in the photograph there are streaks of light from where the “car” drove by creating this interesting trail. The supplies you’ll need for this technique is some sort of moving light source, a camera that you can change the shutter on, and a tripod so you can get a less blurry photo. To do this technique you’ll need to change the shutter speed to a longer one so you can get a photo that leaves a trail. You’ll also need to change the ISO so the photo won’t come out to under/over exposed. Two concepts that I have to shoot this technique is to go on a bridge when the cars run pretty often and shoot the photos looking down. Another one that could be done is get a group of people to ride they’re bikes, and stick glow sticks on them and then get on a high enough surface to take a shot of it when they’re moving.

Ghosting
Is where you make someone seem in a ghost appearance like in area, a tripod and your camera you’ll have to set your camera to slow shutter speed. You can set to low lighting and use a timer best is 10 seconds. To place where you lost a love one or to be scary.
Light painting
Where you use lights and it creates a form around an object or person. The main 3 are a camera and a tripod also little lights. Slow shutter speed to camera settings, creating a dark aura or funny designs.
Light trails
Lights created from cars lights in a road or traffic. Camera, tripod and lens hood, maybe. Setting to slow shutter speed which is on TV. You can use to show a trail of a place and lights leading to it ,Involves cars.

•Ghosting, This technique is to create a “ghostly” image; the equipment you need for this technique is a tripod or set on something steady, A Low-light setting (Like in the evening or when the sun is setting), a person. Camera setting would be to turn off flash, put camera in shutter speed priority mode, set the time for 10 seconds if you can. Two concepts are in a Graveyard or a dark forest.
•Silky Smooth water, this technique is working with the movement of the Subject, freezing the motion. The Equipment that you need is your camera and a tripod or steady place to put the camera. The Camera settings is To switch to shutter priority mode, set your shutter speed to 1-2 seconds that your camera is fully still the whole time the shutter is open. Two Concepts I have for shooting this technique is A Waterfall or a River.
•Panning, this technique is that you get moving subject and end up getting a relatively sharp subject and blurry background. The equipment you need is a Camera with shutter speed mode, Monopod, tripod. The setting you need is slightly slower shutter speed than you normally could use, Start with 1/30 seconds and then play with the slower ones, as the subject is approaching track it smoothly with your camera using the tripod or monopod. Two concepts that I would us is a dog running, or A car in motion.

Ghosting is a technique used to make a person in your photo look like a ghost. For this technique, you need a camera, a tripod, a low-light setting and a person. To do this technique you need to: turn flash off, put your camera in Shutter Speed Priority mode and set the time for 10 seconds if you can. Two concepts I have for doing this technique are someone in a cemetery and someone sitting on a bench.
Light painting is a technique that allows you to “paint” in your image with a source of light. You will need a camera, a tripod, and a light source. You would adjust your camera settings so it’s using a long shutter speed. Two concepts I have for doing this technique would be the light spelling a word and having light come out of someone’s hands.
Star trails are when you take multiple shots of the stars then combine them to make them look like streaks. To do this, you need a camera, a tripod, and a setting that does not have very much light so you can see the stars. For settings, you need to have it at a large aperture. Two concepts I have for this technique would be having a tree in the shot with the stars and then just having the stars with no focal point.

Ghosting:
Find a low-light setting to take the photo with a person to use as your model. Turn off the flash on your camera, put your camera in TV mode, and then set your camera to 10 seconds. If 10 seconds is too long, then reduce the time. You will need a camera, tripod, a low-light setting to take your photo, your model. To adjust your photo you can have your subject/person stay in place longer than their “ghost” will be more solid. 2 Ideas I have are someone in a cemetery, and someone in a forest looking setting running away.
Panning:
You will select a slightly slower shutter speed than normal, start with 1/30 second then go slower if needed, as the subject approaches track it smoothly with your camera, once you click the shutter continue to pan your subject. Supplies you need are a camera and a moving subject. Adjusting your camera setting could be changing the time of the shutter speed. 2 ideas I have are a moving car, and a person running.
Light Trail:
Find an area where there are moving cars once the sun goes down, and make sure that your photo would have enough light going on the photo. All you need to be successful while taking these photos are a good setting with plenty of cars moving and your camera. Adjusting your camera you can change the exposure time. An idea is getting a busy highway with good framing.
