At the end of the evening sessions Spark Your Creativity participants try out light painting. It's a method which includes turning the camera onto yourself, making yourself the subject of a photo that embraces chance. With the camera on a tripod, release the shutter (using a self-timer) and the sensor records the LED lights waved in front of the camera. The results range from ribbons of fine light to large glowing orbs and abstract brushstrokes of light.
