Teaching light painting to my niece

Taught Light Painting to my 11 years old niece yesterday. Was an amazing experience. She has no idea about photography so I have to draw analogy between eyes, memory, painting, writing etc to make her understand how a camera works. And explaining concepts like shutter speed and focal length etc were quite challenging. To my surprise she learned it very quickly.

After teaching any concept, she will ask me to click a pic with those settings. She learned it by seeing it working. Was interesting to observe. Remembered how we struggled in NID to learn the same concept with loads of explanations and ray diagrams :-)

These are few light paintings painted during the session.
