33. Light painting!
With the name alone, you would know what is the most essential part of this trick: the light source. Set up your camera on the tripod first to manual mode and select the long exposure. Notably, you might need to play around with your settings, tempo, and lighting a bit before starting such a project, but it will be worth it! With autofocus, set focus on your subject, switch to manual guidance, and lock it there. Whether it’s a sparkle, an LED light, or your tablet, have a light source ready for painting. To avoid them having a specific pattern, keep moving around, and don’t forget to wear dark clothing to avoid showing up in your photos.
A tripod is essential for long exposures as one camera shake can ruin your photos. While it can take a while to get the right settings, so make sure you did some experiments before starting. Set your focus on the objects, then switch to manual focus. Lock everything down after that and you should be good. During this time, have your light source ready. Set the timer before the image starts. Turn off or dim the lights (depending on what works best), then paint. You can trace an existing object or draw anything you like!
