painting with Light

The painting with light assignment had to be my favorite in class assignment of the semester. As a kid I always wondered how in photography were people able to create pictures or images with light but I never really went deep into that mystery of mine. When it was finally explained to me in class it all made sense even though I had a pretty good idea because of the prior knowledge of our other class and in class assignments. The slower the shutter speed, the more detail you were able to add to your picture you were painting with light. This was a really awesome experience and I was glad to finally learn how to actually do it.
