In the example below, I have used an LED torch as it produces a \u2018clean\u2019 light and is usually more precise than a conventional tungsten bulb torch. The rose has been placed on black acrylic against a black cloth in a darkened room, and the exposure on the camera set to 13secs at f\/22 and ISO 100.<\/p>\n<p>With this long exposure time to play with, I set the torch to its lowest power setting and pointed it at the rose, constantly moving the torch, out of shot, to illuminate the flower.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part I pointed the torch down, at about 45\u00b0, which has created the studio spotlight effect. I then angled the light straight on to illuminate the head of the rose and fill in a few harsh shadows.<\/p>\n<p>This technique has replicated the effect of using studio lights with snoots and grids to create a precise, dramatic lighting style.<\/p>\n<h2>Light trails<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_2919&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2919\" title=\"Light-trails\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Light-trails.jpg\" alt=\"Light trails\" width=\"580\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/12\/Light-trails.jpg 580w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/12\/Light-trails.jpg?resize=300,281 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/12\/Light-trails.jpg?resize=426,400 426w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/12\/Light-trails.jpg?resize=562,527 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Light trails<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>We\u2019ve all seen images of traffic trails, where the movement of a vehicle at night produces trails of light that are captured over a long exposure. This technique is similar except it captures the movement of a small LED light.<br \/>\nThe subject was photographed against a black background, then using an exposure of 30secs at f\/5.6, a small white LED light was moved around the outline of the subject. The quicker the light was moved, the thinner and fainter the line. Moving slowly creates thicker, brighter lines.<\/p>\n<h2>LEDs<\/h2>\n<p>LEDs are found in many household products and I managed to salvage one from an old solar-powered light. They have the advantage of being small, powerful and the light produced is reasonably directional. This makes LEDs perfect for lighting small still-life scenes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"LED\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/LED.jpg\" alt=\"LED\" width=\"250\" height=\"201\" \/>I soldered wires to the +\/- terminals of the LED and taped three small batteries together. I soldered one of the wires to one side of the battery pack and left the other unattached. Pressing the wire to the battery makes the LED light up. Only attempt this if you feel confident doing so and only using low-powered batteries.<\/p>\n<h2>Top tips<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Use different light sources for different effects. Besides a different colour temperature, torches with tungsten bulbs tend to have a wider spread of light compared to LED torches. LED torches are often more precise and have a colour temperature closer to neutral. For very precise control, some torches have a focused lens to control the beam.<\/li>\n<li>Coloured gels can be placed over the light source to illuminate parts of the subject with different colours. Multiple exposures or merging the images using software can aid this technique.<\/li>\n<li>A keyring torch can be useful for creating light trails instead of an LED.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the light source moving as much as possible, even if the movement is slight. This prevents the light looking<br \/>\ntoo harsh in the final image.<\/li>\n<li>If you cannot work in a pitch-black room, make sure your exposure is short enough that any ambient light doesn\u2019t illuminate the scene.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use low-powered lights to illuminate objects in a darkened

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/12\/painting-with-light.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-05 09:16:06","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2914"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33144,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2914\/revisions\/33144"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2914"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=2914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
