Light Photography: After a number of people in class have been experimenting the following might be helpful to those playing with light photography.

1. You need to have your lens and camera set into manual mode
2. Your iso should be set to low ( l00), F stop is good around F8 but this can be experimented with. You want to open your shutter for a longer period of tim in order to allow more light to come in.
3. And you can experiment with the length of time you want to keep the shutter open. On some cameras changing the setting to bulb mode will help.
