Bulb Photography

In order to take these photos, we must set our mode dial to manual focus and have a very slow shutter speed. The shutter speed was set to 'Bulb' setting which allowed us to determine when we wanted the photo to be taken and for how long to leave the lens open for. In order to achieve these photos you need close to complete darkness. You'll also need a light source in order to make the shapes and lines. A flashlight or glow stick will work great but for mine I used my phone's flashlight. Making letter wasn't easy. In order to do them you must remember to write the letter backwards or else it will look wrong in the photo. I wrote the letters B T and S. 

For this particular photo i decided to make a star. Letters aren't the only thing you could make with the light. There are also many shapes one could try out. A star is a rather simple one and this is how it turned out. My team and I did not face any problems with the lights or the camera. Everything was working well. The only problem we had was the lack of space. With all the people taking photos in one place, it was hard to move around which was necessary for this project. We solved this problem, we took times it taking photos.
