Words and Brushes

For the second assignment, I used the word ambition, and put the brushes at different angles.

Painting with light




This image is taken with a long exposure on the camera. The camera has to be set on TV mode. It's necessary to be in a dark place. Once the camera is set up, with the shutter open, you use a flashlight to "paint" whatever you want.

Splash of Color
