Congratulations to Light Painters Satwik Sharma, Ankur Bansal, Sanchit Kapur, Shobhit Tiwari, Jeswin Rebello and Arun Pandit for now holding the official Guinness World Record of 900 Light Painted Orbs in a single exposure as seen in the above image!

First let me give a little back story on the Light Painting Guinness World Record… The quest to get a Light Painting World Record all started back in 2011 with Andrew Wells when he single handily created 100 Orbs in a single image in his Century of Light Orbs Project. Andrew should have had the first ever Light Painting World record in the Guinness Book back in 2011 however he didn’t have all of the documentation that Guinness requires. Andrew might not have made the book because of technicality but he was the first. Then in 2014 a group of Light Painters (myself included) set out to break Andrew’s record and to “officially” get the first Light Painting Guinness World Record in The Big Book! Together the East Coast Light Painters created 200 Orbs in a single image. Now the record has been shattered with 900 Orbs in a single image from a group of 6 Light Painters from India! The Indian Light Painters created 900 orbs in a single exposure using a very smart approach and some good old DIY Light Painting innovation, read on for all the details from group member Dr. Satwik Sharma!

LPP ∇ Congratulation on being the new Guinness World Record holder for the most Light Painted Orb in a Single Photograph! Can you tell me who all were involved in creating the record?

SS ∇ We were a team of 6 guys. Myself (Satwik Sharma), Ankur Bansal, Sanchit Kapur, Shobhit Tiwari, Jeswin Rebello and Arun Pandit

LPP ∇ How many orbs did you create in the record breaking image?

SS ∇ In the record breaking image we made 900 orbs. Though we did create a second image that day, and in that we made about 1450 orbs. But sadly, both the cameras recording the video, were interrupted mid-way, so we couldnt submit the footage from it to Guinness.

LPP ∇ How many attempts did it take?

SS ∇ This was our second attempt. In our first attempt we managed close to 600 orbs (594 to be precise). But me, along with a couple of team mates, were not satisfied with the pictures we got. So thought of making the attempt again. And with a new attempt, the target number of orbs was also increased to a minimum of 900. In our second attempt we did a trial run first, and made 210 orbs in that trial run. Adjusting the exposure we made the final run, and succeeded in making 900 orbs. In the second attempt the number was raised to 1500. Sadly, the batteries started to run out, by the end of the second attempt bringing down the number of orbs to about 1450. So we abandoned the third attempt.

LPP ∇ I know that you had tried to break the record once before in a different way. Can you tell me about that experience?

SS ∇ To be frankly speaking, our first attempt was heavily influenced by the ideas of the East Coast Light Painters World Record. So we tried replicating those tools, and those methods. And thankfully, we had the help of my Alma Mater, Sainik School, Kunjpura. We gave a crash course of light painting and making orbs to about 100 students over there (or as much as we can teach in an hour). After dinner, we had them gathered at the school grounds, and we did our attempt. The most amazing thing about this failed (partially) attempt was the enthusiasm and energy of the students. They seemed to be even more eager to break the record than we were. I still remember what one of them said to me after the attempt “Bro, This was an awesome experience! Why don’t you come back in couple of months with more preparation, and we will make a record of 2000 orbs” It still gives me the goosebumps. That was the level of enthusiasm I saw in the eyes of the students. And it is something, I would love to see again and again. To teach them the joys of waving lights in the dark, and see those lights magically form Art.

LPP ∇ Thats really cool I would say that was a success just for the experience! The idea of making the orbs smaller was a really smart way to go about breaking the record how was the idea of making the miniature light orbs introduced?

SS ∇ After that attempt, we started analysing the shortcomings. Where did we go wrong, and how can we improve upon them. One thing was sure, the way we had gone about with the first attempt, that way was good for only about 300-400 orbs. Because as the number or orbs start to increase, the orbs at the back start to become less distinguishable from the nearby orbs. As I was adamant on creating a minimum of 500 orbs, we needed an elevated platform of about 150 feet to overlook a big flat surface, to get the proper angle. But, as we could not find any place like that, we moved to the next logical choice. Decrease the size of the orbs. The radical idea of reducing the size of the orbs was proposed by Ankur Bansal, and it was readily accepted by the group. But, as we had never seen a tool which would create miniaturized orbs, let alone create more than 500, it presented a new set of problems. So after brainstorming for a couple of days, we came up with the design of the tool, and started working on it.

LPP ∇ Can you tell me a little more about the tool you guys built, it looks like a piece of DIY Light Painting genius… was it computer controlled, hand controlled, or a bit of both?

SS ∇ From the outset, we had planned to make the attempts with as much frugal resources as we can. For the two attempts we made, our total expenditure did not cross the $200 mark (excluding the air tickets, ofcourse). With such a shoe-string budget, using a computer controlled tool, was out of question. Also, it was out of the area of our expertise too. Our tool was made of wood, PVC, and simple DC motors. And was controlled manually only.

LPP ∇ So who did what in the group, how many people did it take to operate the orb tool and how long did each orb take to make?

SS ∇ Out of the six of us, Me, Shobhit and Jeswin, were handling the cameras. I was on the highest perch, while Jeswin was on the other platform. Shobhit was on the ground, clicking pics and making video for use in the video presentation. Ankur, Sanchit and Arun were involved in manually making the orbs and moving the tool in unison. The tool made 30 orbs at a time, in about 30 secs. It also needed to be moved to the next marked location, after making a row of orbs. We made a total of 30 rows of light orbs.

LPP ∇ What was the most difficult part of the process?

SS ∇ The most difficult part of the process was the complete lack of knowledge on how to go about it. We would create one tool, build it up from scratch, test it, and after finding one fault or the other, junk it. Also wiring up the whole tool was a mess. DC motors we got our hands on were not standardised. One would run faster than the other, the other would be slower. It was a complete nightmare. And above all, we had no mechanism whatsoever to control the speed. So it was just a game of mix and match, trying all sorts of combinations to get the motors running at optimal speeds. On top of that we made the mistake of using aluminium core wires. Aluminium having higher resistance than copper, would make the matters even worse. The current and voltages just seemed to vary at every single point.

LPP ∇ I know you needed to have a high angle to capture all the orbs how was the location selected?

SS ∇ By the time we started looking for a location for our second attempt, we had decided on miniaturizing the orbs. So we just needed a flat surface with some kind of platform with a minimum height of 25 feet. We found a flat ground, with double-storey houses on three sides giving us a height of about 35 feet on one side and about 20 feet on the other. That was sufficient for our attempt, and few test pictures from these vantage points just proved it.

LPP ∇ How long was the exposure for the final image?

SS ∇ The exposure of the final image was 830 seconds.

LPP ∇ What was the best part of the experience?

SS ∇ The best part of the experience. Now that is a difficult one. In our first attempt it was definitely the smiles on the faces of the students. In the second it was the bonhomie developed between people from different distant parts of India, who had gathered in a small town in North India, with one goal in mind. 900 ORBS!! (or more)

LPP ∇ Thank you for taking time to answer these questions and Congratulation again! You guys crushed the record! I guess the East Coast Light Painters better get to work 🙂

SS ∇ Thank You.

On December 19, 2015 the Light Painting World Alliance organized a meet up in Dorum-Neufeld (Germany) where 25 Light Artist from 5 different countries got together to create some really cool Light Paintings. During the meet up the group created a GIANT logo (Above) to celebrate the International Year of Light and Light Based Technologies (IYoL) by UNESCO. It looks like it was a blast sharing ideas and techniques with light painters from all over! Check out a few of the images for the meet up and the video below. For the full report head over to the LPWA HERE.

Light Painting Photographer Denis Smith a.k.a The Ball Of Light is taking the Light Painting Workshop to another level. Focused on education and the total experience, Denis is combining a full service Light Painting experience with some seriously epic locations! If you are a newbie looking to learn the art of Light Painting, an experienced Light Painter looking for guided access to some stellar locations, or an artist thinking about starting your own Light Painting workshops read on because Denis has shared a ton of valuable information in the interview below!

LPP ∇ Denis I am really digging the direction you are taking your workshops! It looks like you have a couple of different options from larger group settings at abandoned insane asylums to Light Painting dream field trips into the wilderness, can you tell me more about what you have going on?

DS ∇ At the beginning of 2015 we (my wife Kyrie, and business partner Sam) decided it was time to fulfill a long time dream of mine, to share some of the knowledge I have around light painting. Our initial event was designed for 30 participants in a huge refurbished warehouse. It sold out almost immediately, so we opened it up for another 2 nights, which also sold out.

On the back of that success we decided to design some more intimate events in more exciting locations. But the ultimate fantasy of mine was to take a small group into the Australian outback, which is where my light painting journey really began.

LPP ∇ I know there is a significant amount of work and money that you need to put up for just one workshop, what you are creating is a massive undertaking… what is it that made you take the leap? Was there a magic AH HA moment for you. Was it the success of the first ones that gave you the push to make a go of it?

DS ∇ With the success of the 2015 events and the amazing feedback we got it was a no brainer to extend the events into 2016. There was a very definite moment where I realized we had a thing. I was standing in front of a group of 15 at our Z-Ward event. This was our first really intimate and exclusive event in a very special location. I looked out across the small group and realized that 5 people had travelled by air, from quite a distance to be there. I felt incredibly humbled, and excited. They had a blast and all said the effort, and expense was well worth it. What a buzz!

LPP ∇ That must have been a great feeling! In the video promo you put out, and just from talking with you over the years, your passion for the Light Painting Art Form is very evident. I know that photography pretty much saved your life can you tell me a little about what you are so passionate about Light Painting?

DS ∇ Ah yes, “photography saved my life”. A huge call, but as the years roll on I feel more and more sure that my discovery of the camera at a time in my life when I truly believed there was no way out helped me climb out of a very deep, dark hole. I still suffer from some pretty aggressive mental health issues, and photography is where I go to find solace. It is a safe place for me, and I can shelter from daily life. What I have learned over the years, and since the release of the Ball of Light Documentary, is that more and more people are using the joy of photography as a means to relax and take time out for themselves.

My passion has not waned, in the slightest. Every time we hold a workshop I see people getting out into the wild and taking what they have learned further. On many cases they are sharing it with their own family, friends and other photographers, It feels like Light Painting is spreading through the photography community like wildfire. Everyone sees it and is in awe.

LPP ∇ How does your passion translate to the workshops?

DS ∇ I have been Light Painting now for 6 years, which amazes me because I remember the first weeks that I discovered it with such clarity. I still go out now and look at the back of the screen with such excitement each and every time. When I have a room of 30, 15, or even a tour of 6 people I get so excited about seeing them experience the same thrill, and it is universal.

It doesn’t matter how tired I am from preparing the events, because it is an incredible amount of work, when that room is full, and the room goes dark, the energy and adrenaline that surges through my body it so much fun. I simply do not stop until the last person leaves for the night. It is hard to explain the thrill. I have no idea where the energy comes from.

LPP ∇ What is the craziest thing that has happened in one of your workshops so far?

DS ∇ We did a workshop in the Z-Ward Insane Asylum. It is quite legendary for being very haunted! I saw a guy about 2 weeks after the event, he relayed to me that he was in one of the cells, no one else next to him. He was sitting on the floor, looked away, then looked back and his camera was attached to his tripod, lying on the floor. No sound, not noise from it falling, not a mark on it, just on its side on the floor. Now this is a pretty straight up guy. He was a little shaken up by it and said he didn’t mention it on the night, as he didn’t want to freak me out!

LPP ∇ Something that really stands out to me about your workshops is the attention to detail, from the gear you have available all the way down to the presentation style. What should someone attending one of your workshops expect.

DS ∇ From the outset I wanted anyone attending the workshop, whether a complete novice, to an experienced light painter, to leave feeling like they had learned a significant amount.

At our events that are specifically designed for beginners we can even provide the cameras and tripods. But people can arrive with the most basic equipment and we cater to that. All events are designed to cater to 30 second exposures at F5.6, so a super basic camera and kit lens works perfectly.

We provide a full complement of light painting tools. This is really important. There is a huge amount of gear, which has been a huge investment for us. From torches to EL Wire, full RGB LED strip tools to basic light wands there is nothing missing.

We partner with some incredible companies that make this possible. The Light Painting Brushes system has been instrumental in making the workshops as comprehensive as they are. Without the Universal Connector we simply would not be able to cater for up to 30 participants properly. We have 30 basic torches that they can connect to the LPB tools we have, but more importantly it shows each participant that they can get creative and design their own tools. Of course a system like this is fantastic, and affordable for those that are not into making their own.

I am a LED Lenser International Ambassador, so I always have a great selection of that product on hand. For our Full Moon in the Flinders Tour participants, they receive a “welcome pack” when booking that includes one of the amazing LED Lenser T2QC torches and SEO3 headlamps. Without the incredible support of LED Lenser this would be impossible

LPP ∇ The workshops are more of a hands on experience, rather than a lecture series correct?

DS ∇ Oh yes! I have been to some photography workshops where you sit in rows and listen to some person delivering hours of theory and you don’t even pull out a camera. We do things differently. At the beginning of each event there is just enough theory to get you started. We have a private Facebook group, as soon as you book you get access to this page, Here you see all of the basics required to get started, there are hundreds of people who have been to an event who are exacted about answering questions.
After the short intro to the space and the light painting tools we have on hand it is all business, we get people straight into the light painting. We always have staff, experienced light painters, on hand right by their sides all night, answering questions and more importantly listening to people’s ideas and helping make them a reality.

I want everyone to leave with a memory card full of images that they created!

LPP ∇ The locations you have already had have been epic, what locations are on the 2016 roster?

DS ∇ This year is all about taking it outside. Our locations like an old insane asylum and will still be on the calendar, but this year we will be introducing our first Full Moon Tour. 4 days and 3 nights in my favorite locations. These are all inclusive, door to door experiences. We will be heading to the Flinders Ranges first. This place is stunning, deep in the Australian outback amongst the most ancient valleys on the planet. This will be extremely exciting and is limited to 6 people.

We will also be doing some great one night events out in the field. We will be heading into the forest; here we will break into small group sand shape the forest with light. We have many dry salt lakes here in South Australia. We will be heading out onto these for an extreme open space experience. There is nowhere to hide on the salt.

We will be holding the Z-Ward Experience again. This is a disused insane asylum here in Adelaide. We have a model with us and with only 12 people in this huge building it is a space to let the imagination run wild.

It is going to be a huge year!

LPP ∇ Wow man that is really exciting! Putting these workshops together especially when you’re taking people out in the field you must run into some challenges, what is the most difficult part of putting these things together?

DS ∇ The amount of time that goes into these events behind the scenes is amazing. I want these to be perfect! So the most challenging part is making sure that each participant gets the attention needed. I always make sure that we have enough experienced light painters on hand to make sure that any question is answered as soon as possible. A complete novice has to leave with the same thrill as an experienced pro, this takes a lot of planning!

LPP ∇ What is the most rewarding?

DS ∇ I greet and say good-bye to every participant as they come and go. It fills me with joy seeing the excitement and nerves as people arrive, then seeing eyes filled with wonder as they leave! I will never tire of the experience.

LPP ∇ Anywhere in the world; where would you want to take a group and teach them about light painting?

DS ∇ Oh boy! Anywhere? I have been light painting in the Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia on the night of a full moon. I would love to take a group there!

Or maybe around the ancient temples of Luxor. I love the idea of doing such a cutting edge, modern form of art around ancient locations, and imagining the people of the time seeing what we are doing. Maybe the massive Moai heads of Easter Island?

LPP ∇ How about some advice for other Light Painters that are thinking about starting their own workshops? What are the things to look out for?

DS ∇ As with anything where people are paying you for a service, you need to set the right expectations, then over deliver. Holding events at the level we do takes a huge amount of time to prepare, organize and deliver the product. You have to have a capital behind you to hold a big event. The costs are up front, and often you don’t get the numbers and payment until close to the event. Time has value, and you must factor that in when preparing. Be careful who you partner with, they must bring real tangible value, or don’t do it. Everyone wants something for nothing and although a huge name might be attached to a partner, be ultra clear about what they are going to deliver, and get it in writing!

I don’t know what advice I would have liked, There were no real surprises. I have an amazing team around me and they make sure I miss nothing. I suppose just not to rely on anyone but myself and my closest allies. That way it is hard to be let down.

LPP ∇ Thank you very much for taking the time to answer all of these questions, I am sure that you will have a really successful 2016!

DS ∇ Thank You.

Light Painting Photographer Steven Erra’s sees in his mind and creates his visions with light. Great Big Story has produced a short film about Steven and his work. Check it out below.

Artist Steven Erra’s vision is slowly deteriorating. He didn’t know he had a disease that would take his sight until he was nearly finished with his art degree. But that diagnosis only motivated Erra further. These days, he works with The Seeing With Photography Collective, a group of sight-impaired artists who specialize in Light Painting.

Ars Electronica Futurelab focuses on the future at the nexus of art, technology and society. Along with technology and manpower from Intel, and Ascending Technologies, they recently set a new world record for the “Most Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) airborne simultaneously”. 100 UAV’s flying about at the same time not running into each other is a feat all to itself but that was not enough for these smartypants. They also wanted to get creative and what better way than to take the 100 UAV’s and make some light painting magic. Check out the images and video below…

P.S The East Coast Light Painters Still Hold the First Light Painting Guinness World Record. HA HA.

Well this is freaking amazing. Ascending Technologies is a “leading UAS developer & manu­facturer of technology”, they also enjoy Light Painting. To showcase their flight planning software AscTec Navigator paired with their AscTec Falcon 8 UAV they created what has to be the best quality Light Painting Drone video that has been made to date. Check out the video below and for all the details check out their website HERE!
