Falcon Ranchero Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I learned this in Grade 11 Photography class, and I liked it a lot and so I wanted to share it with others as I thought it was real neat and I hope you'll like it. What I have here are photos taken in an unusual way. The photos below have not been edited in any way; this is how they came out; hard to believe, but it's truer than true. The explanation is the camera's shutter. When said shutter is left open for a period of time, it cpatures a whole lot more light. In the dark, any path of any given moving light will be captured, creating radical lines of light, in this case, resembling kinda '50s Diner-esque with the addition of model cars as the main subject. Here are a few below: (please note some cars are Die-Cast, not assembled kits, though there are some down there) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon Ranchero Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 The lights I used to drag across in front of the camera are these little finger lights. It is very important that the photos are being taken in a dark room so no foreign light can ruin the magic. Make sure the camera is on a tripod, and it is a good idea to have the camera's image quality set on the highest level for the clearest results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Rivard Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Awesome and very creative. Brings back memories of 35 mm photography before the digital & photoshop changed everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, digital camera; mine is a Canon Rebel T-7 from about 2020 (grade 8 grad gift) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I believe that most smart phone cameras (what majority of models use for model snapshots) and even average digital snapshot cameras do not have a "bulb" setting which allows the photographer to leave the shutter open afor as long as they want. DSLR cameras are usually needed for that feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
