Solar powered light painting
Art and science are intrinsically linked, the essence of art and science is discovery.
The creativity based on cultivated knowledge enabled artists and scientists to make
the world a better place. Light Painting is an art form where the artist uses hand held
light sources to selectively illuminate parts of a scene during a photographic
exposure. The technique is used for both scientific and artistic purposes, as well as
in commercial photography. With a solar powered light source, a light stencil box can
be used for not only light painting, but also an outdoor light decoration runs without
electricity at where solar energy can be acquired.
