Light

Proposal Development


1. My main idea that I'm going for I thought would be fun to shoot, but I'll need a friend to help me with the photography as well. I was going to go around Wellington at night time to the more/most populist places and do a light painting. I was either thinking of doing a light graffiti within the space provided in the photo or do a battle scene. 2 people with superpowers fighting each other in the city at night, with glowing light auras and Dragonball Z style blast to each other. If I can pull this off it would be a really cool and entertaining series of photos, unlike all the other cliche types of light photography out there. I would need a tripod for a start to get rid of the noise and blur from each photo, and to have my camera setting to "bulb" so I can have the chance and time to do the painting.


2. A light optical illusion is another idea I had. Where I photograph an object normally at first, then photograph it again so it is completely transformed and abstract. I had a bit of practice with this in my DSDN 101 project 1 assignment where I photographed a compass which had 2 separate shadows and it looked like it was floating in mid air, due to how I cropped it. Doing this kind of photography or something close to it would be interesting.
