Light is an essential part of a photograph. We could not have photographs without light. Although we need light to create images it is not often the main subject of a photo, instead our cameras use light to create the images we see with our eye.
I chose this photograph because light is used to create the main subject. The stick figure on the swing is made entirely out of light. This is done by light painting. In light painting we use light to create a subject that we would not normally be able to see. This is done by keeping the shutter on a camera open long enough to capture a light trail. This is just one of the many ways light can be used as a main subject in a photograph.
