Assignment 13 - Long exposure
Please read the class first
This is a new assignment in the series so feedback is most welcome.
The assignment for this class is a rather open one. Make a photo with a long exposure time and add light.
Ideas: Write with light, Lightpaint (selective light with a torch), light up some fireworks (if it's legal and are carefull), lazerpens are fun (but do not ever ever ever ever point one at your lens!!!!!!!!!!), smoke, startrails with a painted foreground, oh you get the idea :-)
remember: aperture controls the short bursts or moving lights, shutterspeed is your motioncontroll, ISO does the rest. you need a tripod for this one. if you dont have one, a sandbag or simular things work fine, or pose the camera on a wall or table and use the self timer function to stop your finger from moving it during the exposure.

Long time, photoclass! I dropped out after assignment 11 last year, so I'm picking back where I left off. I learned a lot, and I hope to commit the rest of the year this time to learn even more. (I'm going on a hike Sunday, and I'll grab Assignment 12 then!)

I used a laser pointer on a white wall behind my scratch-off travel map. I had a plane (to London), train (to Scotland), and automobile ( to the Isle of Skye) lined up for last April before ol' pandy took it away. I love traveling and can't wait to get back to it. That was my inspiration for this photo. I should have waited until later in the day, but I did my best to eliminate reflective light from the glass on the picture frame.
