We’re going to set up three indoor sets sets for you to take turns experimenting with various light painting techniques.  Weather permitting, there will also be some outdoor shooting opportunities.

Where: We’re meeting at the home/office of David Kahn, our usual meeting location: 17 Fox Hill Drive, Natick, MA

What to bring:

• Your camera.  Before you arrive, you should figure out how to take exposures of 15 seconds or longer.
• Remote shutter release (wired or wireless) if you have one.  (If  you don’t have a shutter relelase, you can use your camera’s self-timer.)
• A tripod.
• Light sources, including flashlights, light sabers and anything else that can add light creatively to a scene.  You might want to label them so you’ll know which ones are yours.  Extra batteries will also be useful.
• Black panels, tablecloths or other materials that can be used as backdrops.
• Black gloves or equivalent will be helpful, so yours hands don’t show up in the photographs.  (Dark clothing is also useful.)
• Any objects you want to try light painting on.  Objects with interesting texture are particularly interesting.
