Light Painting
It is a technique of painting with light, using our camera.
Lightpainting technique (or painting with light) it is one of the most attractive techniques of the current picture, albeit that has its origins quite some time. It was -the painter Pablo Picasso, yes who realized that a photosensitive film, with an exposure time long enough and a very dimly lit stage, could capture the movement of a light source. Some of the works can be performed in The Coolist.The truth is that little has evolved since those bright graffiti art by Picasso, and surprises you can get to be a certain simplicity and not a particularly complex equipment. -obvio- Just one camera, one or more sources of light, a tripod, or surface where to place the camera, imagination and willingness to try "new" things.There are geniuses of this technique, and many truly spectacular examples can be seen doing a simple search on Flickr, for example. And if it is true that the difference between making some of those images and a simple squiggle with a flashlight in the dark is more of resources and expertise, the theory is exactly the same. What is more, in many of those cases (the majority, I swear) they have none of Photoshop, however surprisingly enough.
