Photographic meanderings

I’ve long admired the art of lightpainting, but it often lacked a certain something: Color. Sure, you can use gels, or different types of flashlights, but still you’re limited to a very narrow range of colors. Not any more. If you have an iPad, download this app:

Flashlight by John Haney.

It’s free (yay!) and very simple; It makes your iPad screen into an adjustable light of just about any color you want. It’s a soft, diffused light, which means an even coverage with no hot spots. The downside is that it will take longer to lightpaint larger items.

Give it a try!
