Light Painting Photographer Patrick Rochon took some time away from the digital world to dive deep into Light Painting. Focused on learning more about the deeper meaning of what it is that we, as Light Painting Artists, do. Patrick has created a meaningful new video Manifesto sharing some of what he has learned on his journey with LIGHT. I am sure you will find inspiration in this video, but I also hope you find inspiration in how Patrick gained this knowledge. Stopping and taking the time to think deeply into the medium of LIGHT is so important. Enjoy the video and you can also read more about Patrick’s journey here.
Massive Children Of Darklight Light Painting Collaboration!
Light Painting brings people together, but even more so when doing a massive Light Painting Collaboration and no one does it better than the team of Frodo, SFHIR and Edu known as The Children of Darklight! Frodo ÁlvarezDKL, SFHIR and Edu Cajigal create the most massive and impressive Light Paintings ever! The amount of work, organization, planning, time, artistry, creativity, imagination, and technical ability that goes into creating one of these mind blowing works of art is simply astounding!

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.

The next episode has lots of light painting in it I promise… If you have not subscribed to our YouTube channel yet please do it NOW! This episode was filmed in Golden and Estes Colorado at the Stanley Hotel where they filmed some of The Shining! Enjoy…
Light Painting Caligraphy Tutorial by Dee Light

Light Painting Photographer Dee Light specializes in a form of light drawing known as Light Calligraphy. I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with Dee about a year ago and to see him create is work in real life is something special. His movements are smooth and elegant and I was really impressed with his general spacial awareness and the way he moved his lights through the air. Dee has created a nice video tutorial showing how he creates his Light Calligraphy along with some help from fellow Light Painting Artist Chanette Manso, check it out below!
