Light Photography

I took most of these on Bon Fire Night 

aside from the sparkler art images.

I lowered the shutter speed to 3 seconds for the sparkler images so that my subject(s) had time to move around to create the light drawings

The images that i'm in were taken by my girlfriend using the same settings. I didn't own a tripod at the time when i took these images so they may not have turned out as well as i had hoped, however I do now own a tripod so the image quality should increase.

I created these effects by getting the subject to hold a sparkler and spin around. It created this nice vortex effect although the subject was blurred out in the one image, so i got a second person to circle the subject with a sparkler to create the image on the left.

I took this using a 1/20 second shutter speed and lucky timing. It took several tries but it produced a nice red and green smoke effect as the fireworks took off.

This is an image i used to test the shutter speed, thus why the "drawing" is fairly bland instead of something more intricate. I kept this image however because it came out looking pretty nice.

These images were also tester  images but not to test the shutter speed, i used these to test the suitability of  the sparklers as a light source for this shoot, the images turned out decent so i decided to use them for my investigation in college.
