In photography, light trails are when you can see the pattern that is left from lights.
These can be done using your torch on your phone, a coloured filter over a light source, through a glass for added effects – anything. Although, you will need a camera, or camera equipment that allows you to alter the shutter speed.
A slower shutter speed allows the above effect. I usually have the shutter speed on 10 seconds. Doing so at night, gives a better effect than during the day. If you want lights, nighttime is the time.
Shutter speed of 10 seconds, F11 and iso 100
These will need to be altered, depending on the amount of natural light you have.
Find a dark space, set up your camera and have fun!
You can literally spend hours playing around with these effects!
Have fun!
