Photogs and Lumia imaging enthusiasts amongst us would know that we can set shutter speed on Lumias to as high as 4 secs, arguably the most on smartphones. This camera capability gives rise to awesome creations in form of light paintings. We received a press note from Nokia’s PR team and it talks about how leading light artists Ian Hobson of Newcastle, UK and Jeremy Jackson from Virginia, USA have created a series of light painting images with mighty Lumia 1020. There are some handy tips shared and a video as well, for helping you in “light paiting” yourselves.
