Next up i just got a bit of string .. tied some lights to it ..moved them around in different waysnand photographed the movements...

That last experiment reminded me of wheels spinning so i decided to put lights on bicycle wheels and then have a little cycle..photographing the movement of course.

THE RESULT OF DIFFERENT MOVEMENTS OF LIGHT

I wanted to start looking at different movements of light. To do this i have photographed different forms of moving lights to see what shapes and movements would be created

• SPINNING

To record this movement i wanted to make something that could shine light and also spin at the same time. I used a tube and drilled out several holes. The light would be shone in each end of the tube and i hoped the cut out circles would light up and be used to create the circular shapes.

This was the 'tool' i made for this.

Also to make it a bit more interesting i added colour by using the sweet wrappers once again.


And here were the results..

Lit up..

And SPIIIIIIIIIIIINN..

I switched around the colours to add versatility.



I then took a picture of all of the colours in the one.

And then to add more movement i moved it around to create these effects..

I havn't done  post in a while. I guess im not very good at this blogging thing. But i'm going to post up all the work i've done now.



PAINTING AND WORK AFTER LOOKING AT LIGHTS.

LIGHT PAINTING

I originally started making basic shapes with a simple flashlight. I enjoyed experimenting and seeing what different shapes could be created....

As time went on my images were getting better and i then introduced colour by covering the flashlight in coloured sweet wrappers.

Here are some of my coloured images....

The different lines of colour in these pictures create motion and speed. I think this is very interesting so i developed into this and I started looking at these lines of colour which led me to working with lights and the speed of light creating a similar effect as in these pictures below. I tried to remake my orignal images using lights....

I made these images by 'painting' with lights in a dark room and taking a picture. O personally prefer the picture with colour as i think it is more exiting and really captures the effect of somebody running at speed.

I started off looking at human motion in the beginning and the different movements of the body during different activities. I then started looking at human motion in relation to speed and rapid movement and I became extremely interested in the blur effect of colour this speed created when i took pictures of people running. Here are some examples of the pictures i had taken....
