Light Scribble

Light Scribble is where you zoom in all the way as much as you can go without doing a digital zoom and then you turn the flash off. It has to be dark. Very dark. Then you aim the camera at a light, shake the camera and click the shutter while you're shaking.

I got this idea quite on accident. I was in a taxi cab with my friend, Joshua and we were taking close up pictures of our eyes. It was bumpy in the cab and I decided to take a picture out the front of the dashboard. Instead I got a picture of the meter. Since it was so bumpy, it shook the camera and created a really cool photo.

I'm going to post some of the other ones I have done. Enjoy.

"Hooks"
This one happened when I was trying to do a Light Scribble with some lights on the ground. It was one of those cords with lights inside it. So the lights were in a really straight line. 

"Frozen Fire"
I took this one by having some white lights in front and some red lights in back.
I shook the camera and they mixed together. I like this one 'cause it looks like rain.

"Number Storm"
This is one of the first pictures I took in that taxi I was telling you about.
It's the picture of the taxi meter (we were at 40.000 vnd at that point!).

"Neon Wheels"
We were buying a bahn mi sandwich last night and this is a picture of their store sign.
I shook it up, clicked the shutter and you know the rest.

 "Electric Hair"
I call this one Electric Hair because it looks like, well, electric hair. I forgot where I took this one.

"Raining Ice"
I took this picture when we were just coming into a little carnival. It was at night of course and there was this huge styrofoam Santa thing that looked like a house that you had to go under to get to the carnival. There were blue lights covering it. There wasn't a single place there wasn't a blue light. It hurt my eyes so I decided to look at it through the camera lens. It still hurts your eyes a bit, but it's better.

I was quite restrained by showing you just these pictures. Next blog post I'll try to show more. Thank you for looking.
