Curiosité, c’est où ?
Désolé, il faut clicker les images pour que leur version grandeur nature apparaissent. Je vais l’indiquer.
What are the words made with? I’m a bit confused. Are they actual lights that are bent into letters?
No. These are a series of letters I made moving my camera at night in front of a lightbulb outside. The final effect of a continuous beam of light is because the camera keeps its shutter open longer because of the insufficiant lighting.
I tried to make several letters, these are the ones that came out the best. The words were then made up when I assembled the diffrent letter-pictures together.
It’s actually pretty simple to do. Especially with a digital camera: you can immediately see what you are doing right or doing wrong to get to that desired photographic effect.
