Incredible light graffiti

"Drawing with light" or light graffiti artist from the best UK in this case - Ben Matthews. (BEN MATTHEWS)








A dentist by profession, 26-year-old artist Ben Matthews of Surrey likes to experiment with light and photography. (BEN MATTHEWS)



In order to do light graffiti, cool camera is not necessary - come down and "Soap". The main thing that it was a manual mode - this is a necessary condition for drawing light necessary to operate three main parameters: shutter speed, aperture and sensitivity. (BEN MATTHEWS)



Maturation in this case - this time, which is the photographer to paint a picture of luminous device in the air. While the camera shutter is opened, the light falls on the matrix, in which the light source moves in the image into a line. Accordingly, to obtain such a line takes time. (BEN MATTHEWS)



Therefore, in the light graffiti most importantly - a slow shutter speed, which lasts at least five seconds. That's enough to draw a symbol or letter. For more complex tasks need a slow shutter speed, for example, 30 seconds. However, this may cause the appearance of the so-called digital noise. (BEN MATTHEWS)



To avoid this unpleasant effect, it is necessary to reduce the sensitivity of 50-100 units. With Aperture, you can adjust the amount of light reaching the matrix. The higher the value - the lower beam, the lower the value - the more light. (BEN MATTHEWS)



One of the main conditions for the photographer, who decided to do light graffiti - a rigid fixation of the camera. A small gust of wind or breath photographer can nullify all the work. It is best to put the camera on a tripod. (BEN MATTHEWS)



If not, then fit any rigid surface: bench, stone parapet, desk. And choose a lens for the best day - it's easier to find a place to install the camera. (BEN MATTHEWS)



Well, and then only wait for nightfall, because only in the dark possible absorption of light. (BEN MATTHEWS)



Night, by the way, is another insidious, invisible by day. The fact that the drawing is highly undesirable extra light light sources: street lights, windows, headlights of cars. These sources brightness similar to those that will be used for drawing or even exceed them, and in this case the picture just will not work - you need to merge with the light from urban areas. (BEN MATTHEWS)



Paint with light alone or team. When drawing light involved several people obtained incredible shots with multiple light sources, often colored. (BEN MATTHEWS)



By the way, colors' frizlayterov "a little limited. They can use only red, yellow, green, blue, purple, orange and white. (BEN MATTHEWS)



To draw a light suit almost any luminous object: a flashlight, LED, lighter, candle, sparkler sparkling and even a mobile phone - most importantly, that it shines brightly. (BEN MATTHEWS)



You can paint with light, using even the simplest flashlight odnodiodny: use it to get the easiest and most simple frame. To achieve the unique images, which show traces of multicolored, fire or multi-light, you need to use more sophisticated devices. (BEN MATTHEWS)



For "frizlaytera" very important spatial thinking. If it does not exist or is poorly developed - persistent training will help to fix it. While drawing with light, it is important to remember where it was held only a line - it will help to control the composition and all the details will be drawing on those places should be. (BEN MATTHEWS)



Simplify the drawing process in several ways. Firstly, you need to portray on paper that will then be drawn in the air. This will help to consolidate the image in my head. Secondly, all of us in childhood chalk on the pavement - you can remember this skill. Day of paint on the pavement and walls, and in the night air. (BEN MATTHEWS)



Wearing dark clothes, "frizlayter" can come very close to the object of drawing: long exposure might not like that. And if the photographer will freeze for a moment, then his face fall into the frame. By adjusting the intensity of the light can be made so that the painted object was a clear light, or vice versa. In general, the most important thing in the art of light graffiti - not afraid to experiment. (BEN MATTHEWS)
