Ever tried painting with light but got an amorphous blob instead of the heart you meant to draw? Us, too. That’s why light stencils are so so so great! Instead of free-hand drawing with an LED light, you’ll use a cardboard box with a shape inside of it to shoot super detailed light paintings. You don’t even have to cut out a stencil! Just print out an old photo or a silhouette and slide it into your homemade lightbox. Pop the flash a few times, and create surreal dreamscapes even Salvador Dali would be envious of. What better way to take advantage of those daylight savings hours? How to Make Photo Light Stencils p.s. Make a light stencil photo, and share it with us on Twitter! We’ll spotlight 3 winners on the Photojojo Tumblr. Just 1) Follow us @photojojo and 2) Hashtag it #photojojodiy. We’ll pick winners Monday morning 11/26 PST! |
