Jesse and I took long exposure photographs with our friend Sparky a few weeks ago. To do this, you need a pretty nice digital or regular SLR camera. Then you slap it on a tripod, manually set the shutter to be open for about 30 seconds, grab a couple of flashlights and go at it!

Here is a pretty basic design created by waving the flashlight around.

I held still (So I would be exposed in the shot) while Jesse drew around me.

We just couldn't resist a classic.

Couldn't resist this one either. See how his shoulder is slightly transparent? That's because he moved out of the shot before the shutter closed.

Sparky, the thinker.

Swirly!

Here's a bad attempt at a bicycle, but Jesse got confused when drawing the spokes. It's hard to do complicated designs when you can't see what you've already drawn.

We went for a simpler design next time.

He's bending over the wrong direction, but it's still cool...

freaky ghost face. We used a black-light flashlight.

One of my favorites.

I just like to call this one "bliss".

I wonder what he's dreaming about?

sigh...on fire again...

Thanks guys! It's relatively easy to do, too. I highly recommend it.

Bah I don't have that setting on my camera.. I like what you've done though.

Really cool! I tried it, but I don't have an SLR camera so the max time for exposure was 8 seconds; not really enough time.

(this next try is an attempt at linking images. it probably won't work, so just ignore it)

Cool! I always like to see other's long-exposure stuff. (The links work fine). Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Over the July 4th weekend I was over a friends house and I showed them the wonders of long-exposure photography. they all wanted "powers", but they just couldn't keep still! :D

Can you tell me what camera you used? Im looking harder for a camera that have a long exposure time, but unfortunately i cant find one.... (Sorry for my bad english)

If you're going to use digital, they can get expensive. The camera we used was Sparky's camera, so I'm not sure at the moment. I can ask him. I would recommend talking to someone at a high-end camera store who KNOWS cameras.

If you want cheaper, we used to just use an XLR film camera. Downside is obvious: you can't see the pictures right after you take them and you actually have to go get them developed. But, it was kinda fun doing it that way, and you can hold down the shutter as long as you want.
