For this project, we used digital cameras to capture light drawings. To make your drawings, you have to use a bright light that will show up on a dark background and a light that your camera can process. My group used our phones and downloaded an app that had neon colors to add a pop to our photos. To actually capture this moving light, the person taking the photo has to leave the camera shutter open as long as possible, allowing the light to hit the sensor of the camera. On my camera, we used a setting called Bulb that allowed us to hold the shutter open as long as we want. While one person was holding down the button, it gave the other group members time to “paint” a scene or drawing. It worked to have 2-3 group members drawing, while one person took the photo. It was more challenging to have one person drawing because it took longer. It was frustrating at times because when you were trying to change color, you would have to leave the view of the camera and then if you messed up, the camera picks up all of the mistakes. To take this project even further, I would try to draw different real life objects outside. Overall, this was one of the best projects!
