Light Painting

6 years 3 months ago #564682 by felipebn
Hi guys, I'm a beginner photographer and I love light painting. So far I only have a couple of light tubes that I made myself and some LED lights that I bought on the internet. Do you know some guides or tips for me to improve my light paintings? I've seen some amazing pictures from other artist and I really want to learn how to make something like that.Thank you for your help. Btw its also my first time on a forum so I hope I'm posting this correctly.;)

Don't try to paint everything with the same light otherwise it will look odd and flat. Creating different and unique lights on each different part of the landscape is the whole purpose of light painting. For best result you have to choose  a dimmable flashlight with an adjustable beam. If you don’t have a dimmable flashlight you can create a snoot out of a cereal box. You can buy it from Amazon. To make the photo more natural, make sure to mix in ambient light.
