Guys, I need your help.

Sharenator.com > Guys, I need your help.
I've got an assignment for my Photography course based on movement, for this I want to do light trails and light graffiti. But I'm really stuck for ideas, I've got to produce 8 photo's but I need some ideas.
What I've already got is

-Light graffiti, so like drawing with LED's etc
-Traffic trails
-Fair ground rides etc.

But these won't cover 8 photos... Help!!

Yeah I like pictures like that but I need lights which portray movement. And I'll bear that in mind for my next assignments :) Thanks

I would but the problem is, is that you can get arrested taking pictures of trains because of all the terrorism things these days. I might try trams though. Cheers :)

England, we're all up on the security thing at the moment. My tutor has been arrested before for taking photos of trains etc.

Tell me about it, you're not allowed to take photo's of police officers either, especially in London.

I need photo's of a railway line anyway as an assignment so it's gonna be a complicated process to get permission for that :| not doing it twice :P

I'm not 100% sure, I think it's some kind of small town.. But I'd love to go for a couple of months but it's like £900 for the cheapest flights over..

Try super long exposures of a clear night sky, preferably no moon. Even 1 minute will give you some streaking of all the stars. Long exposures of rivers work too. Do you have any tunnels near you? Ride with a friend and sit in the back seat and take a pic to include the lights of the dash. The dash should be fairly clear and the tunnel will be streaked. Also search Movement on flickr to get more ideas

They're amazing, how'd you do that?

Also if they're manipulated, we're not allowed to do that :( but I like them!

What while you were taking the shot?
I'd have assumed it was the film you used because using expired film can give a kind of blurred effect during the shot. But they're really good :)

It's a two year course, so this year it's getting the basic functions and techniques of the DSLR and equipment (we're doing dark room and studio soon) and then next year I think it's starting to learn photo manipulation techniques.

thats cool, in our class the first year is beginning photo where u work with film cameras and basic photoshop, and in advanced photo u learn more advanced photoshop and work with different film and both classes are the student does everthing, we put the film in the cameras, rolled the film for development, develop the film and make all of ur own pictures in the dark room

You could do some light painting with fireworks n' shizz, incorporate skating maybe? i've got a few examples (not taken by me, stolen from an album on the maverick skateboarding group on facebook)

They are pretty impressive, the only problem is, there's no outdoor skatepark or anywhere I could do something like this with. I have to say it's damn awesome photography though.

Set the shutter speed for longer, you need to use a tripod or another way of steadying the camera though or you get camera shake.
