For these photos I used a basic torch and a DSLR Cannon and set the shutter speed to 15 seconds. I attached the camera to a tripod to keep the camera steady over such a long exposure.
I adjusted the ISO as well (image sensitivity) to 100. In those 15 seconds I waved my torch around to give the graffiti effect. In the top image I was trying to create a ball of light. In the bottom image I was trying to write a graffitti style tag.
There are many problems that can occur with this technique some being; the lighting – too much background light means it won’t work correctly as the torch will not shine through. So we had to try and eliminate as much light as possible.
This is a very fun technique to play around with and I like the fact you can be as creative as you wish.
