Light painting: my first attempt!

in #photography5 years ago

I tested out light painting photography last night with my Canon camera. Lots of improvement and learning to go I'd say! I used a really thin light stick as the light source and shutter speed around 25 for these. If anyone has any inexpensive light source suggestions for light tubes etc, please comment. I think it was too thin.

Very cool first attempts! an excellent and cheap flashlight to use with tubes is the Convoy S2+ but if you can afford it I highly recomend this one. You can also put a cheap RGB strip with controller in a diffused tube and cover parts of it with transparent or reflective materials. There are some tutorials online that explain how to make light painting tools but best is to start experimenting with any light source or shiny or transparent material you can get your hands on. There are blades, tubes, optical fibres, etc.. The tool doesn't have to look great. It's what it can make that matters.

Some great suggestions here thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it! I will check that link out now as I can see from a brief look that these light tools will really make a difference. Thanks again!
