>Light painting
so you just got your camera?

>>2803111
Ngl yeah I'm pretty new to photography. What else would it be called then?

>>2803123
It's not the name, just a dumb little phase it seems people go through. never saw the appeal of it.

I guess you could call it long exposures but light paintings are a bit more specific

Watch out with very strong UV sources like from arc welding. You can cause some damage.
