The movement of different sources of light produces different effects on the image, which can be used creatively.

Lighting is an important aspect of creating a great photograph. Not only does lighting  dictate brightness and darkness, but it also  influences tone, mood, and atmosphere. As a result, it is critical to properly regulate and manipulate light to get the best texture, richness of colour, and brightness on your objects. According to George Eastman, “light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know the light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography.”

Long exposure techniques allow photographers to achieve effects that would be unachievable with regular or high shutter speeds. Light painting, tube painting, light trails, etc. are examples of long exposure. Light can make all the difference with any finished image, and is often the element that 
makes an okay photograph, an inspiring one. Light painting is the technique of moving the source of light, which can be a flashlight, laser, glow stick, etc. to create different shapes.

When the painting is done using a tube, it is called tube painting. The light trails are the technique of capturing the light coming from the busy traffic, which shows the hectic pulse of life in cities. The movement of different sources of light produces different effects on the image that can be used creatively. The chapter “Maneuvering Rays” delves into the techniques mentioned above. When the 
light moves in a careful, planned way in front  of an open shutter, we can make creative images and tell stories.
