MORE INFORMATION ABOUT LIGHT PAINTING
Light painting is a photographic technique that uses a moving light source, such as a torch, to add light to a subject while taking long exposures. The technique allows long trails of flowing light to be artistically applied to a photograph. When this technique is used in an outdoor setting surrounded by water, the light reflects to create abstract shapes and glowing colours.
