HANDS-ON LIGHT PAINTING

 Below is a list of skills and equipment you will need.

We will not have time to teach you how to use your camera for this, so please try to familiarize yourself with the technical pieces beforehand.

Equipment:
• Camera and at least one lens. I would recommend a general lens like a 24-70 or similar. You can use a wide-angle lens, but it is not ideal for our situation. A prime lens (like a 50mm) will work also.
• Remote Trigger. This will help you keep your hands off your camera to prevent any jiggling. If you do not have a remote trigger, you may want to be familiar with setting your camera’s self-timer delay feature to prevent camera shake. Some Canon users might be able to download and use the ap called "Camera Connect". Other camera manufactures might have a similar app for triggering shots and viewing images. 
• Tripod and plate. This is an absolute must for long exposure photography. Let us know if you need to borrow a tripod as a lot of us have more than one.
• Two fully charged batteries. Long exposures especially while using live view take tons of energy. Bring extras.

Camera Knowledge:

• Know how to set your f-stop, your exposure time, and your ISO. This means Manual mode.
• Know how to set your lens to manual focus, just in case. We will try to give you opportunities to auto-focus using our cell phones.
• Know how to set your vibration control on your camera. When you are on a tripod, you will want your vibration control set to off.
• Know how to use Bulb mode for your exposure time. We are going to be doing this in near dark conditions and while we think exposure times will be 30 seconds or less, you just never know. If you do not know how to use Bulb mode, you may not get the
desired effect, but you can still learn how to do these types of images.
• Patience. This type of photography is a lot of trial and error when you are doing it alone or with a partner. Doing it in a group setting may require taking turns but it will be a lot of fun. We will be moving our lights in different ways to give you different effects and not everything works the first time.
• Questions. Ask us. We will try to fill you in on what we did when creating our own images, but there is a lot of trial and error involved with light painting.
