How To Light Paint A Spirograph and a Spoon

How To Light Paint A Spirograph

In this Light Painting Photography Tutorial I show how to create what is basically a multiple exposure image in a single exposure using a light painting technique known as lens capping. Instead of using a lens cap I use a piece of black cloth to cover the lens while light painting in multiple different elements into a single exposure.

Light Painting Tutorial, Spirographs with a Twist

May 28, 2020 by Jason D. Page

Light Painting Photography Tutorial

Light Painting Photographer Erin Simmons has recently published a new Light Painting Tutorial showing how he has been creating his extraordinarily unique spirograph light paintings and I am so glad he did! When Erin first posted his spirographs I was amazed, if you are familiar with light painting you have probably seen numerous spirographs but Erin’s are DIFFERENT! When someone in our community creates something unique and not seen before that is exciting! As a light painter of course I want to try to figure out HOW? I tried a few different times and I couldn’t figure it out, in a strange way that also makes me happy… Thankfully, in the true spirit of light painting, Erin has shared his technique with us! The name of this post says it all, its a simple addition to creating a “normal” spirograph and that is to TWIST the hanging light before you spin it! Erins technique is another great example of a simple twist creating extraordinary images! Check out the tutorial Erin made below and make sure to give him a follow on Instagram @eelskie

How To Light Paint with a Cell Phone

Hi everyone, as I am sure you all are well aware we are going through some difficult times in the world right now. I made a new Light Painting Tutorial video showing how to light paint with a cell phone. I hope that this video is helpful to those that might not have access to a more expensive camera and it will bring more people into our light form. Even if you have a DSLR or “fancy” camera shooting on your cell phone can yield some interesting results and I hope you will give it a try. Wishing all our Light Painting family around the world a peaceful mind and good health, be well and see you all out there on the other side of this…

Light Painting Tutorial, The Tinfoil Technique

March 23, 2020 by Jason D. Page

Light Painting by Jason D. Page
In this light painting photography tutorial inspired by Tim Gamble I show how to use Tinfoil to create a mold and then illuminate it to get some really interesting light painted results. The way the various colors of light catch the tinfoil and mix together when using handheld light sources during a long exposure can yield some incredible colors, textures and designs. The possibilities on this technique are only limited by your imagination! I hope you find some inspiration in this tutorial and will give it a try yourself. Be well and lets do the best we can to take care of one another in these difficult times.

How To Focus In The Dark, Light Painting Tutorial

February 18, 2020 by Jason D. Page

Light Painting How To Focus In The Dark.

In this light painting tutorial I answer one of the most common questions that I get about Light Painting and that is How To Focus In The Dark. These are the two techniques I use to focus when I am creating my light paintings and this is what works for me. Since posting this video I have learned two new things from the community that can make your focus even better. The first is that when you are shooting on a tripod you should turn off your image stabilization and the second is that if you are using a varifocal lens you will get sharper focus if you do not zoom all the way in, instead you simply frame your shot first and then use the focus assist to pull your focus. Apparently when using a varifocal lens the focus will change when you zoom out. I have used these two techniques for 20+ years with every camera and lens set up I have ever had and never had any trouble but maybe my expectation of sharp focus is different and now with these new tips it can be improved! Anyway hope the video and these tips help you to achieve focus in the dark! Enjoy.
