New camera

We have just got a new camera and I thought I would try it out and take some light pictures just to see how they differ from the previous camera we had. This camera has a lot more settings and adjustments that I can fiddle with to create light art. I can change the shutter speed to 1 second which means I should get some reasonable trails of light.

I have also got for some LED's lights, high intensity, in red, orange, yellow and green and some Maxell CR2032 lithium batteries.

I used the specification for the items as per a tutorial on the internet for another type of light art that people do.

The main issue with the method that I have chosen is that you can't switch the lights off, you have to just to unstick them, but because they last for about 3 days, I should be fine. During practice I will just stick with 4 LED's, one of each colour and then the rest will remain fresh for when it comes to my full demonstration.

Anyway here are some photos:-
