As a bonus I'm offering the raw files for you to download so you can follow along with the video. See the link below.

Thanks as always for your kind comments Mike. One thing to keep in mind is that when applying the "Lighten" blend mode the opacity can get that milky look if lowered too far .. semi transparent with the blend mode applied.

Another fantastic video and your instructional pacing is easy to follow. Thank you! Two questions. Can the resulting light trails be eliminated altogether by using an alternate shooting method? Secondly, instead of brushing out individual light trails on a layer-by-layer basis, why not merge layers then brush out all light trails on a single combined layer?

@nightscapeimages.richard 8 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching. It's hard to shoot an alternate method because I cannot light the scene without getting right into the shot. If I merged all the layers before rubbing out the light streaks then I'll end up eliminating the background.

From the comments it looks like many others feel the same way 🙏. In a similar vein to this, I hope you won't mind a suggestion for a future video? You've featured your light painted Scoobie on several occasions looking rather stunning and, since most of us have access to our own vehicles, this could make for a nice nightscape opportunity when the skies are cloudy 🤔.

Good morning Richard! Very nice piece here. Very nice indeed. Love this indoor stuff too, as it opens lots of doors for more shooting!!! Couple questions (sorry if you've already covered them). As I understand it, everything here is shot with a fixed aperture and focus. Q1: Is there a time you might focus stack an indoor shot like this. Q2: In my mind, the aperture (on a shot like this) is one of the best ways to control blow-outs (like the wool), do you start there (the brightest area) and find your f/stop (while still being mindful of your DOF), then build your subsequent shots on that? Q3: I am a diver, and underwater, light from the front tends to cause dust/particles (backscatter) to be bright and often out of focus blobs, do you consider this when shooting in a dusty environment like this, and how would you control for it during the shoot, and do you clean these particles up only at the very end on the flattened image? Thank again...

@nightscapeimages.richard Жыл бұрын

Thanks as always for watching Paul. Really appreciated. Firstly I find that at f8 everything is quite sharp. I wouldn't want to focus stack in a case like this for fear of introducing focus breathing which some lenses have. Both the aperture and even more so the lower iso will control the blow outs and give me great dynamic range. I prefer to establish my settings first and then simply add the required amount of light to get correct exposure. Having said that, correct exposure is a very broad term .. I'm happy to under-expose a bit and simply bring it up in post. I rarely light from the front at all so the dust isn't an issue. There was a lot of dust around but none of it shows on the images.

Awesome tutorial! What kind of light are you using for light painting? When you are taking different images how are you managing overlap to avoid having 2 images with the light on the same area? Is this a concern? The resulting image was fantastic!

Thanks so much for watching Denis. I'm using an LED Lenser P7 light to do the light painting here. But a lot of different torches/Flashlights would work. I like something that isn't too bright and has a controllable beam size. The overlap doesn't matter, they just blend nicely and you can remove parts of each image if you choose anyway.

Thanks Richard, incredibly helpful video. Just one question, you used a 10 sec shutter, do you let the shutter run the full 10 sec for each shot or do you sometimes hit the remote again to stop it early?

Thanks for watching. No I leave the shutter running .. in fact once it's started I can't stop it anyway.

Great! Can I ask if you have your torch on the low or high power setting? Thank you

I nearly always have my torch on the low power setting.

Quick question on your flashlight/torch. In your info above, you have the Lenser P7.2, but the link is for the P7. Just wondering if yours is the P7 or the P7.2, and you've mentioned using gels over it in past videos, so I wondered what you used. Thanks again, Richard!

Thanks Cheryl. Yes I do use the P7.2 but it's been discontinued. I use 1/2 cto gel on my flashlight. See here: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/44201-REG/Rosco_RS340811_3408_Filter_RoscoSun.html

Nice video. I love these light painting videos. We have been light painting a few antique cars and trucks and I am finding that I get a lot of reflective glare from the flashlight (torch) bouncing off the shiny car body when I am light painting. I can sometimes eliminate it by rubbing it out, but not always. It depends upon whether I have another shot that sufficiently lights the area after I rub it out. I was thinking about trying to reflect the torch light off another white surface like a piece of foam board to soften the light. Have you ever dealt with those reflections? What is the best way to handle them? Also, can you recommend a light painting therapist so I can learn to handle rubbing myself out?😁

Haha, well the therapy is a lifelong journey under the stars Ken ...!!!! Yes a larger and softer light source will cure the dreaded hot spots .. but it's harder to apply the light with a big light. Many people use larger LED panels with barn doors to light cars with good results. Also stopping down the aperture and lower iso will help give back some dynamic range .. less blow outs.
