Light Painting: I spent hours just painting on the wall. I didn't really end up with the shot I was looking for but it was fun none-the-less. I bought some glow sticks from the dollar stoe and doodled on the wall. I adjusted the shutter speeds anywhere from 6 to 8 seconds. In this shot I took the two glow sticks and spun them in a circular motion. Later I opened it in bridge and did some basic edits to the saturation and brightness.

Camera Motion: Some houses still have Christmas lights up even though it is almost March! Setting my camera to shutter priority mode I set the shutter speed to 7 seconds and panned my camera all around the light. My roommates also have colored Christmas lights up in their room. I repeated the same process. I opened both of these photos in bridge and did some minor edits.

Moving Light: I borrowed my roommate's tripod that her great-great grandfather bought in the 40s. It is super cool! I set up on the intersection corner by the Courthouse. I set the camera to shutter priority with a shutter speed of about 8 seconds. I took several shots, this one was my favorite because of the composure of the shot. I like having the Courthouse and the flag in the background.
