As we talked about in my last post, long exposure photography can be used to create many different effects. One interesting effect can be created by moving lights. If you take a long exposure photograph of a moving light, then it will leave a light streak across it. You can create this effect by moving a flashlight in front of your camera while it takes your long exposure photograph. You can even use your flashlight to doodle crazy drawings in the air.

You can also get creative and use things like glow sticks, fire, sparklers, fireworks, and glow in the dark spray paint. Taking pictures of headlights on a passing car can also create very abstract light streaks.

Remember that these have to be taken in the dark and with a tripod to keep your photograph from being too shaky. These can be very fun to take and don't require a lot of work. When your done the finished project will look like a unique work of art.
