In this photo assignment I decided to try and tackle light painting, and I tackled it with mild success. These aren't the strongest pictures I've taken through the year in terms of creativity, but I successfully worked in manual mode and manual focus. Light painting is quite frustrating in terms of correctly having the focus on the subject. I did this project in a bathroom in my house using the small flashlight on my car keys. One of the problems I had is that the light cast a really wide, funneled light, so I had to use sharpie on tape to cover the sides of the light. I had the same issue with a light up pen I had. It cast light in every direction which illuminated my hand and all the objects behind me, which I fortunately covered up in the editing process. In my best picture I wish I had captured the star in full, but the top edge got cut off. However, it shows how I figured out the timing of light painting. Best photo. Exposure triangle: f5.6, ISO 100, 5 sec. Editing: Contrast, blacks, clarity, vibrance, and saturation.
