How To Light Paint With A Digital Camera

Most everyone has a digital camera, but the general user does not know all of the capibilities that it has. Even really cheap and inexpensive digital cameras can offer fun and interesting effects when looked into. The Canon Powershot ELPH 300HS is a very average camera that has a huge userbase, but what most people do not know about this camera is that it has the ability to have a slower shutter speed, and any digital camera or DSLR that has the option to slow the shutter speed can offer the person using it some really neat effects. One of the main things that I use a slow shutter speed for is light painting, and this is how I do it.

So as you can see, it doesn't take a really expensive camera for a person to be able to enjoy it's features. Look at your cameras menus and features and take full advantage of them.
