Photoshoot Tricks & Tips - Light

Subject :- Lamp Post

Time :- Night (12:00 - 1:00 am)

Setting : - My Neighborhood

I was standing in front of my porch looking out shooting stars when i noticed that the lamp post by the road not far away seemed to be a pretty amazing subject. I got hold of my camera and started taking snaps of it while experimenting with different kinds of settings. Here are some examples of the snaps i took:-

Go!

What i did was select a relatively low shutter speed then use manual focus which can be done by selecting the 'm'-manual instead of the 'a'-auto on your lens and make the focus go blur to the max fiddling with the focus. As i snapped the shot i moved the camera in the direction of what i wished to right. 
*note: this may need a little practice to get used to.
I took many frames for starters to get the basic of this technique.Once you mastered it, its really simple and extremely fun to play around with.

Good Luck!!
