We experimented in groups with torches and lighting, we also explored the different shutter speeds on the camera to produce some of the below images. The trial and error method worked really well with this task as I could instantly see the differences between the photographs, if they weren't successful then I would just slightly adjust the shutter speed until I got the photos that I wanted. Depending on how long it would take to create the image with the touch would depend on how long the shutter speed was. For example, on the majority of the photos with words on I had the shutter speed set on around 10 seconds, this was to allow my partners to write what they wanted with the touch so that the camera would have plenty on time to capture the light and create the image. On some of the images where there is only a small picture drawn with the torch, the shutter speed was set on around 5 seconds, this was because it didn't take as long as the words took to draw with the torch, therefore the camera didn't need as long to capture the light. I have included some of the photographs taken below to show the outcome of what we created.
These first photos were simple experiments for how long we had to have the shutter open for to capture the image. We then advanced to two torches and attempted to write words, as shown in the next few images.
We also used a multicoloured skipping rope that lit up, here I used a shutter speed of about 5 seconds to capture the movement and lighting it created.
