Painting With Light. Painting with light is a fun technique that gives great results.
It is called painting with light because this is what you are actually doing while taking the shot – painting with light. You don’t need much to experiment with this kind of shot, just make sure you have the following items: 1. A camera capable of long exposures – film cameras will work OK, but if you really want to get the most out of the shooting session, use a digital camera.
