Language: English (en)
Summary: Light painting, also known as light drawing or light graffiti, is a photographic technique in which you manipulate the shutter speed on your camera to 10-30 seconds to allow more light to be captured in your picture. The exposures are made usually at night or in a darkened room by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera.
