Add photoreal images, abstract designs, and animation to your long exposure photos and timelapse.\u00a0Light painting is a fairly simple to do. The first step is to make sure you have the right equipment. Almost every <strong>DSLR<\/strong>, and most point-and-shoots, have a long exposure mode.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Pixelstick began as a proof of concept using an arduino and some off the shelf LED strips. We got results, but weren&#8217;t happy with the resolution of nor with the durability and usability of the actual device.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s as simple as choosing the length of the exposure (from a few seconds to a few hours) and moving a light source within the frame. The process itself is fun and the excitement of seeing what you captured immediately can be extremely rewarding.<\/p>\n<h3>The fine detail<\/h3>\n<p>Pixelstick reads images created in Photoshop (or the image editor of your choice) and displays them one line at a time, creating endless possibilities for abstract and\/or <strong>photorealistic<\/strong> art. Taking this one step further, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/bitbangerlabs\/pixelstick-light-painting-evolved\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pixelstick <\/a>can increment through a series of images over multiple exposures, opening up light painting to the world of timelapse, and allowing for animations the likes of which have never before seen.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_227\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-227\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-227\" alt=\"light-3\" src=\"https:\/\/demos.pixelgrade.com\/bucket\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2013\/10\/light-3.gif\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-227\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rainbows are no longer beholden to the laws of physics<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>The Tale of pixelstick<\/h3>\n<p>Pixelstick began as a proof of concept using an arduino and some off the shelf <strong>LED strips<\/strong>.
