Light show Photography: '65 T-bird (RE POSTED)

[Falcon Ranchero]

A neat way I learned to take photos in Grade 11 Photography Class. The photos here have NOT BEEN EDITED IN ANY WAY/SHAPE/FORM. What you see is what I saw on the camera display screen after I took the photos. The key is to have a car in a dark space, then leave the camera's shutter open for at least 20-30 seconds, and take one of those little finger lights and "Paint" around the car with it and the camera will capture the path of the light. This is my Great Uncle Lauri's 1965 Ford Thunderbird Landau.

This is his car without the lights

Interesting piece of photography work. I have seen this and similar forms of photography before but have never tried it. Some of the pieces I have seen were very overdone IMHO but these are right on the mark. Thanks for sharing. Where did you acquire the light pens?

I have had those little lights for quite a long time; I was too young to remember when or where I got them, but if I had to guess, I  would say the Dollar Store is the best place to find them.
