It's all delivered in a clear, concise and inspirational way that really makes me want to have a go myself. Thank you so much for this. These are easily the best videos on night photography.

@fransvdschyff26716 жыл бұрын
Great tutorial, I just came from browsing low light tube photography. At first I thought about skipping this one, as I have done painting with light before. Then you hooked me with the pinsharp stars at the back while having to spend time painting-in the subject. The few times I've done painting with light, I always tried to do it in one go. Taking different shots for different angles is actually a brilliant and logic way to do it, as you cut down on noise and you can light the same area of your subject multiple times, giving you more options to combine, especially if you have not refined your painting technique. If you burn out a detail while doing it in one go, it could potentially be the cause of great frustration. Sometimes..., (no correction), ...it's always worthwhile to revisit something you've done in the past, because somewhere out there someone else is doing the same thing with a much better approach! Thank you!

@nightscapeimages.richard5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching Ciaran. I use an LED Lenser P7.2 torch and cover this with a 1/2 cto gel (Part No 205) The reason I gel the torch is to warm up the typically blue led light from the torches. Also it helps if I cool the white balance of the camera down a bit, which I typically do to make the sky a richer colour with a touch of blue.

Thanks a lot for watching David. I do mostly use the flashlight as it gives me the best control of the spread of light. I do use LED light panels for lighting up larger objects such as trees or buildings sometimes. This is called low level lighting because in those situations I'll leave the light on the the whole duration of the shot at a very low level.

@nightscapeimages.richard9 ай бұрын
Thanks so much for watching Bernie. I shot this car a long time ago, but often these days unless the car is very close I'll keep the focus at infinity. By changing the aperture for the foreground exposure the focal plane widens and brings the subject into focus. If the subject is very close then I'll re-focus onto the front of the car. Hope that helps.

That's is very very nice I've got something very similar in mind. The only problem is there are a lot of old cars. In a line beside a highway. And the background is not very nice. The cars are on small hill. I was thinking of maybe a small light inside the cars. Maybe a foggy night to cover the background. Are should I just pick 1 car? And focus on 1 like this car is coming back alive. I've got a cannon t6i. And to be honest It's been laying around for a year. So I've got to brush up. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Photograph lets me look at the world around me in a different light. Can't wait to try to get shooting done. I got my books but seeing it being done helps more. Thanks again.

First video I watched on painting with light. Great presentation! As I am interested in giving light painting a try, what light source does one recommend. I am sure the answer is already out there, but I just started searching this topic. Very inspiring video! Thank you

Thanks so much Vincent. I use an LED Lenser P7.2 torch (Flashlight). There are lots of other possibilities also.

This is a great video. One thing that isn't mentioned, though (and is in fact almost never mentioned in these sorts of videos) is the focus breathing which occurs when you change your focal distance on the lens. You're going to wind up with a different image after refocusing from the sky to the car, and given that this is a pretty wide lens (20mm) the distortion along with the change in focal length makes this exceptionally difficult to just use Align-Layers. I'm always curious to hear how people go about mitigating this challenge.

Thanks for watching Philippe. You are absolutely correct regarding the focus breathing. In most images I have not found it to be too much of a problem as the technique of actually lighting the subject tends to mask this slight black shadow from the observer. It is certainly there but in the big picture doesn't detract very much from the overall image. One way to help mitigate this is to ensure that there are actually dark and light areas in the image. Where there are shadows present the dark edge becomes invisible anyway. This is part of the overall technique and as I often mention when lighting ... never light from the same angle as the camera ... side light creates more dark and moody shadows which in turn helps hide the out of focus shadow you are referring to.

Nightscape Images I understand, and really, some of what I was referring to (methods for how you blend layers, masks, alignment) becomes its own tutorial altogether, so I certainly don't fault you or intent and criticism on your workflow. There is always something more to cover, but this is another critical aspect. Anyway, I enjoyed your video and you have a beautiful gallery of work.

Fantastic tutorial. did you set the camera on a timer to release the shutter becouse you need to paint the object so you are not at the camera.And do je need to hold the light still when the shutter is open? and what i dont understand is how is the car stil sharp when you blend the backround picture with the less sharp car in the sharp foreground pictures. 2000 iso is still huge . i have a nikon d800 and i use a irix 15mm 2.5 but with 2000 iso there is noise . thank you again for this verry helpfull tutorial to get me started.

Thanks Franky. Firstly I use a wireless remote to trigger the shutter so I don't have to keep going back to the camera. I don't hold the light still ... I use gentle strokes back and forth .. it's literally painting with light. When you blend the images together whatever is on the top layer becomes visible and covers the bottom layer. The sky in the background layer is what is visible but the car is from the layers above it at a lower iso. Hope that's helpful.

yes , that's what I thought Franky. On my Sony APS-C system the noise and lousy colour come in above 800 ISO. I would have to expose the sky longer. He wanted no movement in the stars . For the car he has placed the images above the original shot where it is out of focus, [ lighten blend] opacity 100% so the images above the original have seniority. The sky is painted out on all these car images.

Thanks for this and many other of your videos. I discovered your channel recently, being interested in the art of light painting. I have a question, one that may be answered elsewhere but I have not seen it yet. How do you coordinate the start of the exposure period with being in the right location to do the light painting?

Thanks so much for watching Chris. I use a wireless remote shutter release so that I'm already in position when the shutter is triggered. There are many you could use but I love the Yongnuo rf603ii. www.amazon.com.au/Yongnuo-Professional-Flash-Trigger-RF-603/dp/B013E1YF3Y/ref=sr_1_2?adgrpid=122112287995&gclid=CjwKCAiAtouOBhA6EiwA2nLKH3qWAQrFH6vQaEh9LjNSRpwXippszX67EvAHjsDHemPFmP52DsezchoCNygQAvD_BwE&hvadid=516459594710&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9071496&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=13670557097762560292&hvtargid=kwd-296736535111&hydadcr=14732_16212&keywords=yongnuo+rf+603+ii&qid=1640214199&sr=8-2

@@nightscapeimages.richard thanks for the quick response Richard. That was almost too obvious, in hind sight. I have an A7R, so I’ll find an equivalent.
