Orb Paintings

The technique i used in order to achieve these orb painting pictures; firstly i set the DSLR camera to AS, auto focus the i set my iso to 100 and then i set my shutter speed to 20 seconds, these where the settings i used on my camera to capture these orb like images. to create the orb i had to have all lights turned of in the room and also i used two pieces of strings and on the end of each piece of string i had a small torch which i had to switch on before the picture then when i was finished i had to either catch the small torch in my hand or switch them off. i done the same process to achieve two orbs in one picture but i had to use a partner to repeat the process next to me. To make the light in the shape of an orb i had to spin the string with the torch on continuously whilst i had to make a 360 degree turn.
