Exploring New Lights

27 February 2010 97 views No Comment

It’s a wonderful feeling when you try out something new and it turns out to be good and people love doing it too. My workshops have been a great source of motivation for me, as it has allowed me to get a first hand experience of this feeling.

I have always wanted to try out some new lights in my Light Painting workshops, that could allow one to play with the patterns formation. One fine day in the supermarket I spotted these Made in China multiple LED lights that were rechargable. It was being sold as Rechargabe Emergency Lights. They were available in different varieties, namely 10 LED, 20 LED, and 42 LEDs too. And I knew instantly that I needed to try these out! I bought a couple 42 LED ones. They were white lights, but the use of colored paper allowed me to explore the other light sources as well.

And I was right. The patterns were sharp and just as I had expected. Even though the lights cost me a bit high, I was willing to take the risk to try it out. It did not work out well in the first workshop that I used it, but in the second workshop that I asked the participants to use it, the results were wonderful.

And again the month of February had people drawing more hearts. The interesting part of this was that this was a pattern formation here.

I am out to NIT Surat next, and am hoping that the participants there would be able to take up the challenge and try it out more and come up with something more wonderful!
