Evaluation
• To create these photos I set the camera shutter speed to 1 second to 3 seconds then 5 seconds.
• I second was not long enough so was too dark, but 5 seconds was too long as it let too much light in and was blurry.
• I used fairy lights, torches, glow sticks and the torch on my phone in the photo shoot.
• The shoot took place in the photography studio. The lights had to be off and no flash could be used in order to get the effect I wanted.
