How To Focus In The Dark, Light Painting Tutorial
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.

Light Painting Video Art, Healing Sounds by Alain Lemay
Music Composer Alain Lemay has shared his newest project pairing his beautiful music with light painting! Inspired by the “Purity of Music” Alain and his 12 Year old Grand Daughter set out to create a “an inspirational organic mood, following the music.” The images have been processed in Adobe Premiere to create a flowing melodic piece of light painting video art. Alain said “The video file was made with 50 duplicates track of the original image. Each track is in lighten mode, opacity decreasing to make the fadeout with a mirrored effect.” This project is part of Alain’s new YouTube channel dedicated to healing music where he will be adding more Light Painting Video Art.
