Light Graffiti

                 Light graffiti is long exposure photography using lights to create objects and add effects to a photo that are not actually there in real life.

                I chose to do this for one of our activities in Photography Class. We were to take a photo of something with entropy ( uncertainty or significant arrangement/disorder) and I think that doing light graffiti is one of most creative ways to show entropy.

                I  learned doing light graffiti when I was a sophomore, when I first had my DSLR. And it's actually easy! All you have to do is set your Camera's settings to Av which emphasizes the aperture. Then, set the ISO speed to 100. That way, the image won't stabilize as quick and the movement of light will be captured. It is best to use the tripod to avoid shaking when taking pictures of light graffiti so that these light painting will not be ruined.

                I had to improvise on my camera's flash since its flash board got broken, so I used the emergency light of the radio I have here at home. Since all other the lights should be turned off,  the flash is important so that the camera would be able to focus on the subject.  I also didn't know where I placed my small LED flashlight, so I used my phone's charger. I also had to set the camera's timer and run back and forth to take several photos of myself doing light graffiti.

 This was the result:
