Kevin is passionate about taking photos as well as teaching photography to others. Not only was it fun to watch the model being painted, but equally as much fun to see what each student ended up with. It's one of those classes that promotes creativity, provides hands on experience for each student, and the class is so fun that it ends before you want it to. I have taken various classes from Kevin so far and this one was my favorite. "Kevin's "Painting with light" class was a blast."Your Painting with Light class really opened my eyes to a whole new way to take pictures.It was wonderful to get in there with the other class members and play with light! He keeps the class size small so we have a lot of hands-on learning and fun." Kevin's sense of humor kept us laughing and his creativity kept us in awe. We'll slow down the shutter speed in this fun hands-on class and explore this dimension of time, and the many ways we can "paint with light" using a camera and various sources of light. In a brief moment, at the press of a button and click of the shutter, we capture a photograph! But there is another dimension that opens up a whole new way of thinking about photography. When we think of "photography", we often think about creating a two-dimensional image of a 3 dimensional subject. We add more classes throughout the year, based on student interest. I think Pixelstick has the potential of completely revolutionizing photography.Want us to add another class? Let us know! It has an initial price tag of $250, and the creators, Bitbanger Labs, aim to raise as much as $110 000 on Kickstarter. As in the 4th picture, multiple images can be queued up or compressed onto one another. An example of the afore-mentioned concept is posted below:Īll first three images are produced at three different speeds of rotation of Pixelstick. If moved slowly, a different design is produced, and if moved swiftly, a different design is produced, and then there is the gray area between the two. The designs that can be created with Pixelstick depend on how fast or slow the stick is moved or rotated. The Pixelstick also has a handle that allows the Pixelstick to rotate or spin on its axis, rendering endless possibilties of designs. Flash by Flash, the image is burned or created on the snap shot. Moreover, pictures can be super-imposed on one another producing aesthetic and more complex designs that are impossible to create in an image. How it works is that Pixelstick creates one vertical line at a time, and the design is created over multiple time-frames in the extended time lapse of a snap shot, and then the picture is compiled rendering a design or a portrait. The device has a “brain” that lives in a small box attached to the device, an SD card reader, and a handheld controller. The RGB LEDs are the “pixels” of the image itself, and they give Pixelstick a “lightsaber” look from “Stars Wars.” Yes it glows quite like the “lightsaber,” but with different colors rather than just one uniform color. Colloquially, Pixelstick is a stick with pixels Pixelstick is a 6′ aluminium bar with 198 RGB LEDs embedded evenly along the bar’s entire length. Pixelstick is a new Kickstarter project that promises to allow users create complex designs that were deemed impossible in former times. However, Pixelstick is about to make ground-breaking changes in the realm of “light painting.” However intriguing and captivating “light painting” is, it has not undergone substantial advancement because it is fairly difficult to make accurate designs that the painter intends to make. Light painting is an art form that dates more than hundred years back. This has led to the coining of the term “light painting,” and has begotten a new form of art. As a result, the camera gathers/accumulates lights for longer periods of time in order to render a brighter picture, but if sources of light move within that time frame of snap-shot, the picture appears smudged, and it seems as if someone has produced a trail of light on the picture with glowing ink. The result is effected by configuring the camera to yield a slow shutter speed. “Light painting” has always been a “thing” for amateur photographers, which when taking pictures at night find, serendipitously, mind you, tracks of lingering colors that seem to emanate from light sources that are captured in the image.
