Win: A 14MP Kodak Digital Camera

We’ve teamed up with Kodak to offer one lucky reader an EasyShare M580 digital camera.

It’s the perfect piece of kit for making ‘light graffiti’, an impressive photographic trick to create amazing images with light outlines. See below for how to create these incredible images with a normal digital camera.

But to stand a chance of winning the Kodak EasyShare M580, you need to think like both a photographer and a street artist. What form would your ‘light graffiti’ take? What would you doodle in the air? And where would you set the photo? If you’ve got a bright answer, just fill in the form below and we’ll give the prize to the best response. If you scoop the camera, you might like to take a snap of your winning idea.

Note: Entry details will only be used for the purposes of this competition and will not be stored, added to any lists or reused in any way.

Competition ends noon on 27 January 2011.

How to make Light Graffiti
1. Set your compact camera to night mode, and attach it to a static surface or tripod.
2. Choose your background and where your light graffiti will be in the frame; then cover the lens with your hand so it does not let in any light. Get your other person ready with their torch/light.
3. Then push down on the shutter button. Keeping your finger held down the camera will now be trying to assess the situation- its sensor will determine that everything is in darkness and will try to automatically lengthen the shutter speed and the aperture will open in order to take in as much light as it can.
4. You can then remove your hand from the lens, but keep your other finger on the shutter button. Now get your friend to start drawing… you should get between 4 – 15 seconds of draw time, so work quickly!
