Here is the 3rd installment of the Light Painting VLOG from iHeart Radio’s Wango Tango Music festival. The Light Painting Brushes team was invited to create light painting portraits of the Main Stage artist for the event. Unfortunately we were not allowed to film the behind the scenes footage with the celebrities but we did manage to get a few clips that you will see in this VLOG. The greatest part about this event was seeing the reactions to the images. These are people that have literally thousands of images taken of them and to see them amazed with what we created was something really special. The video and images are below, Enjoy.

Last 4th of July I planned to shoot the fireworks display but I wanted to try something a little different. Somewhere on the internet in years past I had seen what looked like sea creatures or flowers in the sky. These images were created when the photographer possibly David Johnson (but I honestly can’t remember) had “Pulled Focus” during a long exposure while the firework exploded in the frame, essentially a form of kinetic light painting. These images had been bouncing around in the back of my mind for years now, this forth of July I finally remembered them in time to give it a go. It was way more difficult than I had anticipated, From the varying brightnesses of different explosions to just simply trying to line up a shot to capture the explosion in frame, it was all pretty tough. I did get a few that I was happy with, these are not SOOC I did some minor level adjustments and also cropped the crap out of them to isolate the parts of the image that I liked. Anyway here is a video showing how it all went down, Enjoy.

P.S. If you shoot some of these, please share your images with me at:

Two Light Painters from India have broke the “Most Light Orbs in a Photograph” Guinness World Record. Sridhar Muthukrishnan and Sures Narayanan have captured 1350 Orbs in a single photograph. This is the 3rd time the record has been broke since the original 200 Hand Spun Orb record that was set back in 2014. The orbs in this image were created using a mechanical orb making device that was pulled across the frame during a single long exposure. Congratulations to these two for setting the bar even higher, WHO’S GONNA BREAK IT NEXT? Below is the making of video, Enjoy.
