How to create light paintings using the Nokia Lumia 1020

There was no shortage of demonstrations throughout the Nokia Lumia 1020 announcement, showing America what the smartphone's 41MP camera was capable of. (Watch the event here just in case you've got incomprehensible it.) And one amongst these demos enclosed lightweight painting – a style of art that has been growing in quality over the past years. At a lookit would appear tough to make such drawings, however actually, even a photography fledgeling will have it away. All it takes may be ajiffy of apply, a hand-held light, some basic data on a way to set the camera's settings right, and a crony to carry the camera for you, unless you've got a rack at hand. 

So here's however you create lightweight paintings mistreatment the Nokia Lumia 1020. very first thing you would like may be a appropriate location. The place should be very dark – a bedchamber, or your back yard at midnightfor instance. Then select what you wish to draw. it might be a decent plan to select one thing rather straightforward for your 1st shot, like a basic formbe happy to use your phone's show as a light-weight supply. Set it to most brightness and open a bright image on its screen. Solid colours work best. A torch or a collection of glowsticks will do.

Now it's time to compose the shot. raise your crony to face regarding ten feet back and use the camera finder to form positive you may match among the image. while not taking a photographapply "drawing" your painting in mid-air while not your light departure the frame.

After you are done active, use the Nokia professional Cam app to line the camera's settings manually. you'll would like an extended exposure therefore set it to four seconds. ISO of four hundred or 800 ought to do. you'll flip the camera flash on or off, reckoning on whether or not you wish whoever's drawing to seem within the frame or not. currently press the shutter and let the drawing begin! 

The length of the exposure time – four seconds during this case – is however long you've got to draw your image. Note that the slower you progress your light, the brighter the stroke are going to be, and the other way aroundemploying a rack is not necessary, however it might assist you reach best results. Remember, be happy to experiment with multiple lightweight sources of varied colors! If your exposure seems too dark, increase the ISO, and switch it down just in case the image is simply toobright. If you've got followed our tutorial strictly, you must find yourself with one thing just like the exposure you see below.
