25 Spectacular Light Painting Images

By Colin -


To celebrate the season's first snow here in Utah, I decided to break out the old camera for alongexposure shot with some light painting. If you've never done this before, it's quite fun. Knowing the basics of long exposure photography is an obvious starting point. Light painting just adds to the concept by adding exposure to your image in controlled areas.

More after the break!


The above example, while not quite as spectacular as the shots in the link below, shows the concept in practice. All you need is a tripod and an external light source. I used a simple LED flashlight, but the options available to you are endless. The only real prerequisite is that your light be fairly bright, especially if being used at a distance. Obviously exposure can compensate for lower powered light sources when used properly.

I found a brilliant collection of images showing a high degree of mastery in light painting. Follow the link, and enjoy!

All you need to do is flash them over through recovery OR ADB push them to your device, remember to also remove the corresponding apps before doing so. These are not regular APK files so don't try to install through Astro or anything like that, it will NOT work. If you would like for me to mod a widget/app that's not in the collection do get in contact with me, there will be a fee for custom mods. Also I'll be updating the apps regularly so keep up to date with my Twitter where the updates will hit first!
