EXERCISE #10

Most adjustable cameras have a shutter setting for time exposures. This means that the shutter
will stay open as long as you press the shutter release down. If your camera has a shutter
setting of “B,” try a time exposure at night. Put your camera on a tripod or set it on a firm, solid
surface so it won’t wobble, shake, or move. Set the shutter at “B” and the lens at its largest
opening. Now have someone stand about 15 feet away, and with a flashlight pointing at the
camera, make patterns in the air or write his or her initials or nickname (backwards) while you
are holding the button down. A locking cable release will be helpful with this exercise.
