 Jour 319 Intro Photography

These photos are a result of an experiment exploring the uses of "slow shutter speeds," meaning the photos were made at shutter speeds of  24 seconds or more. Each letter is done by a student using the flashlight on their cell phones covered by a colored gel. The squiggly colors are other students improvising using the same equipment.
The experiment is fun and productive. It teaches spontaneity, improvisation, mastery of the "Four Variable" of photography (which are: (Shutter+Aperture+ISO+Quantity of light) and how "Just Doing it," is its own teacher. 
It was a blast!
