Light paintings
Light paintings is basically drawing with light, you do this by leaving the camera shutter exposed so it captures everything in front of the camera. Its almost like a video in one image which is quite cool. We had to use a flash because the camera was only capturing the lights so what we done to get the person in the image was create a flash. We made a flash using the same thing a camera flash makes, we couldn't flash it directly at them because it'll get over exposed so we would face it the other way this would give a much better effect Man Ray tried a new thing called space writing which is basically writing letters or words with the lights while doing light paintings.

What I did with the light paintings
Strobe Lighting
Harold Edgerton was the first person to start using the effect of strobe lighting pictures he managed to capture things like bullets and the drop of milk falling onto the table. He was also a professor in electrical engineering which allowed him to experiment with strobe lighting, overall he wasn't a photographer but what he done for photography is very helpful because its allowed other photographers to experiment with things they enjoy or want to take pictures of. Now its lead to our class to use this effect and make our own picture with things we enjoy like football or table tennis, we even done joint pictures with more than one person.
