Visiting Washington DC is one of those trips where you have to be selective. In just 1 museum you can literally spend a week trying to see everything. \n\nSo all that being said - we were only in town for a day and a half and I wanted to do something special. I decided to bring what\u2019s called a Pixelstick. I knew I was going to get a lot of questions like \u201chow did you do that?\u201d so I figured I make a behind the scenes video. \n\nThe cool thing about the Pixelstick is that you can load any image you want! As for the process:\n\n1 - Do a countdown as to how long the image takes to play.\n2 - Set a shutter speed and add a few seconds. So if an image is 6 seconds,<br> I\u2019ll use an 8 second shutter speed. Chose a low iso and as for the aperture decide how bright or dark you want the image to be and adjust accordingly. \n3 - Put something on the floor so the person holding the Pixelstick can start at the same spot every time.\n4 - Pre focus and then set the camera to manual focus.\n5 - When your parter is ready and says go - use a remote to trigger the camera.\n6 - Rinse and repeat!\n\nIdeally you want it to be dark behind the image,<br> if not it\u2019ll get lost with the brightness (as in the Street Fighter image in the video). It also helps to have a flat surface as if it\u2019s uneven the image will be wobbly. \n\nIt also helps to scout out locations beforehand so you\u2019re more efficient with your time. Earlier in the day we rented bikes and looked for the perfect spots. According to the bike share app,<br> Justin and I covered 80 miles! \n\nIf you love shooting at night as much as I do the Pixelstick is a cool toy to have in your bag of tricks. I probably use it only a handful of times throughout the year as it\u2019s tricky to use - in terms of having a steady handed person moving the Pixelstick. It also takes a patient person and someone who can follow simple directions - lol.\n\nIf nothing else,<br> it will help inspire people to get into photography as it never ceases to blow people\u2019s minds! People always ask what are we doing and when people see the art we\u2019re creating they\u2019re like \u201choly s***\u201d.\n\nAnd speaking of people asking what are we doing,<br> when we started the video we got questioned by a police officer then detained by a secret service officer as what we were doing looked very unusual. Plus it didn\u2019t help that the President of the United States was about to be flying in the area!\n\nThroughout the week I\u2019ll be sharing more long exposure image we took and if you liked this post be sure to resteem!\n\nThanks - HUGS\n\n<hr><a href='https:\/\/d.tube\/#!\/v\/mikeycolon\/rcvwbxmn'> \u25b6\ufe0f DTube<\/a><br \/><a href='https:\/\/ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmVZ1n2qgp71cW8tZQn2pzBZG9vEoTk8p84ca4LKEJaEJV'> \u25b6\ufe0f IPFS<\/a>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"video\"<br>\"info\"<br>\"title\":\"Light painting with the Pixelstick in Washington DC.\",<br>\"snaphash\":\"QmWJAowx3vVBSKc84s6uCJm3xL3rUjZPDqbQTxT6AyQG4q\",<br>\"author\":\"mikeycolon\",<br>\"permlink\":\"rcvwbxmn\",<br>\"duration\":798.964833,<br>\"filesize\":1255999193,<br>\"spritehash\":\"QmaNEmbGMmk33bJhBpbKhaDVRemyzgvqPr7Tjy2nttrcaB\" ,<br>\"content\"<br>\"videohash\":\"QmVZ1n2qgp71cW8tZQn2pzBZG9vEoTk8p84ca4LKEJaEJV\",<br>\"description\":\"As a photographer sometimes we have to seek quality over quantity.
