lightfaktor Light Graffiti – Berlin Dom

They use 3 different type of lights (they all work with batteries so that you are mobile you also get nice results with fireworks & torches):

• xenon: makes a warm golden light
• LED: makes a thin precise line
• cold cathode: thick line

So how do you get these images?
For the best results you need a tripod. An exposure of around 10-30 sec. or longer if needed. Set the camera to ISO100 and close your aperture as much as possible, to prevent overexpose. Experiment to get the best results!
