I find it interesting but didn’t put much effort on it. I talked to a friend of mine to make me a cable with a battery in one side and some LED lights in the other. After some weeks harassing him, finally I got my cable. This idea was after seeing this blog How to make a Light Orb by Fernando Baez about light orbs. Very cool stuff.

This is the light cable that I used.

 

The only thing you need to create a light painted picture is: some kind of light source, a camera tripod, camera, a pitch black environment and a lot of patience. With all of this in mind, I went to Culebra Island. This is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Literally is a piece of paradise. Because there isn’t a lot of light in the beach it was a perfect setup for my light painted pictures.

This is the first light orb of the night.

This is the results of the equation of Beautiful Night + Beautiful Beach and Camera equipment. Hope you enjoy this pictures.

A pinhole camera is a simple camera that doesn’t have a lens and contains a small aperture in a light-proof box with a very small hole in one side. It has a similar behavior with the human eye in bright light. It projects the light from the scene through the hole in an inverted way to the film. It is manually operated. I use the template provided by Dippold in his flicker account.

After the construction of the camera I went to the Old San Juan area to shoot some pictures. These are some of the results.
