LX3 is such a cool little cam.

yeh george long exposure will do it.
Be sure to focus the correct distance, of where the light that you are drawing with will be, before you hit the shutter. this will give the sharpest results.
You can use a flash to illuminate the scene at the start of the exposure, then for the rest of the time remaining on the shutter draw with light.
Also the picture you posted in the first pic to me looks like long exposure, single shot without bulb or flash and not shopped.
heres a few from my first plays with long exposure (when i got my first good cam the GF1) -
its heaps of fun! :D
- Really cool pics, there's a cemetery near my place which would be nice to experiment there, if I don't get arrestedgeorgesIII
- thanks! they're not great, but fun.
thats a cemetery on the left in the first pic! good luck!Hombre_Lobo

the light drawing images can be made by a bulb exposure, with a flash fired either at the start or end of the exposure.

Sunny 16
Shutter Speed at close to ISO (ISO 200 = 200th shutter or so)
Aperture at 16 in sun, 8 in shade, 5.6 in deep shade, 2.8 inside by shaded windows, F1.8 at 60th or 30th inside with no flash and only house lights
Sunsets and such... F8, or F5.6, shutter close to iso if aiming at sunset, if aiming away, F2 to F2.8 with shutter at 1/2 iso
backlight portrait, with subject in shade and bright light behind them.... F2.8 at 1500th or so....

Piggybacking on georgeslll's thread here. Does anyone know of a good cheat sheet out there for settings such as aperture, shutter, iso, meter under various light conditions, and the function of each of those settings? Should I be okay with auto settings vs. manual?
Thanks to the qbn photography department.

- at about 15-30 seconds you'll begin to see some star trails, depending on how wide your lens is and where you are on the urth.jaylarson

bulb! ....... for long, sloooow shutter .. like 1 minute or more.... aperture determined by testing, even F11 may work with a long enough shutter speed....
...camera on GOOD tripod... I'd use a self timer...
and the VERY STILL meditating guy while somebody else waves the flamey things around and moves enough themselves so they are not in one place long enough to show up in the picture........
....and be willing to try it 3 or 4 times to get it right... first one usually either sucks, or is better than all later attempts....

georges, i have same camera... sit in your room with all the lights off and a torch and have a play until you're happy. (with the camera, not your cock) you can get very varied things with same settings. sometimes its nice to put the flash on first if its on softest one and then do the long exposure etc. basically stand in fornt after putting the timer on and wave the torch around , move around etc. post the results!
