Light Painting Dragon Boat by Roy Wang

Light Painting by Roy Wang Dragon Boat

Light Painting Artist Roy Wang has shared another one of his incredible Light Painting Projects. This project is a cultural public welfare project created by Roy and the “Photoelectric Dragon Boat Team”! Dragon Boat mixes traditional Chinese Culture with the modern day Light Painting Art Movement! Roy said “the boats were designed with Light Painting in mind”, Lights were incorporated into the boat hull reconstruction specifically for this project. The project took four days in total to shoot and Roy said that the most difficult part was coordinating with boat teams, dealing with the current and water flow and shooting some of the images from an 8 meter high metal platform.

We hope this project inspires you, check out the video and images below!

How To Light Paint Silhouettes on a White Background With Erin Simmons

by

Light Painting Photography by Erin Simmons
In this Light Painting Tutorial Erin Simmons shows How To Light Paint Silhouettes on a White Back Ground.

Erin uses a White Bed Sheet as a backdrop and illuminates the sheet using from behind with his most powerful flashes to create a completely white background. When Erin or a model stands in front of the sheet they will create a silhouette that you can then fill in with Light Painting effects.

Settings to start at are ISO 100, F8 shooting on Bulb Mode.

The Light Painting Tools Erin uses are from: https://lightpaintingbrushes.com

Some tips to keep in mind is make sure the light from your flashes is strong enough to make the sheet completely white. If you have less powerful flashes or only one flash you can adjust the setting on your camera to allow more light to be recorded. If you find that your subject is not dark enough to create a silhouette because of the light spilling off the sheet have them move further away from the sheet and closer to the camera.

Erin also talked about his silhouette technique in our Light Painting Brushes Live Event, you can catch the replay here: https://youtu.be/0Nd4ATJCvKs

by

Illuminated Being #1

I’ve got exciting news to share with the community! I have partnered with Theta to release the very first Light Painting NFT’s on ThetaDrop.com. This Light Painting Drop is the first step in a much bigger vision that we are building together! Below is a video explains the drop and all the info. If you would like to participate, support my work and help me to build this vision please go to LightPainting.ThetaDrop.com now and sign up and fund your account. These drops tend to sell out quickly and I REALLY REALLY REALLY want the people that have supported me over the years to be able to collect one of these first Light Painting NFTS. The “Illuminated Beings” will have lots of benefits over the coming years as the grand vision takes shape!

“Illuminated Beings” Light Painting NFT Drop by Jason D. Page. The first Light Painting Photography on Theta and the first step in building a Light Painting dream.

The Drop is on MAY 6th 2022 at 4PM EST.
LightPainting.ThetaDrop.com

The Drop
My first Light Painting Drop is called “Illuminated Beings”. We ARE all Illuminated Beings and this series is inspired by the ability that we all have to bring Light into dark places. All of the “Illuminated Beings” are created in real time and captured to the camera in one single photographic frame. There is no Photoshop or editing used to create anything that you see in any of my images! Like an NFT every Light Painting is unique and unrepeatable!

Community/Communication
All Light Painting Drop announcements will be made on my Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter pages. If you have any questions please reach out to me via email or on one of those pages!

Light Painting Packs
In this Drop there are 2,040 Light Painting Packs. Each of the Light Painting Packs hold one of 8 different “Illuminated Beings”. Each of the Light Painting Packs are $50.

RARITY
Each “Illuminated Being” is more rare than the next. The rarest “Illuminated Being” is an edition of 8, the next is an edition of 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024. The “Illuminated Beings” included in this drop are all below in the order of most to least rare.

NFT UTILITY: UNLOCKING AN EXCLUSIVE MAKING OF VIDEO
If you collect any of the “Illuminated Beings” NFT’s you will be granted exclusive access to the behind the scenes “making of” video of the rarest Light Painting in this series “Illuminated Being #1″. This making of video is hosted on the Theta Network! Your “Illuminated Being” NFT is the key that unlocks the “making of” video!

LIGHT PAINTED GOLDEN TICKETS: REDEEMABLE NFT’S
In the Light Painting Packs there are 8, randomly placed, Light Painted Golden Tickets. The Light Painted Golden Tickets also have a corresponding “making of” video hosted by the Theta Video API, (viewable at the bottom of this page)! Each of the Light Painted Golden Tickets is redeemable for a one of a kind, signed and numbered physical print. The prints will be a 1/1, 24”x36” Metallic Paper Print of the “Illuminated Being” that the Light Painted Golden Ticket represents. Worldwide shipping of the print is included.

25,000 TFUEL PASSWORD PUZZLE
On the back of the “Illuminated Beings” Prints will be part of a password that will unlock Theta Wallet 0x020056625fA5A920909f3d99462DD661A9f5669f You will need all 8 parts of the password to unlock the wallet! If you collect all 8 “Illuminated Beings” Physical Prints or work with the other “Illuminated Beings” print collectors, you will gain access to this wallet. The wallet will start off containing 25,000 TFUEL. On May 6th of every year deposits of 8% of the revenue Jason D. Page receives from secondary market sales of the “Illuminated Beings” will be deposited into this wallet in TFUEL. Once funds are taken from the wallet all deposits will stop. This is a social/art experiment related to the nature of my medium of LIGHT. I am very curious to see how this plays out. 🙂

NEW ILLUMINATED BEINGS AIRDROPS and CHALLENGES
Holders of randomly selected combinations of TWO “Illuminated Beings” will be able to claim  new “Illuminated Beings”. New Illuminated Beings will be received via “Challenges. “Illuminated Beings” must be held in your wallet and not listed for sale to qualify. For instance if you hold “Illuminated Being” numbers 4 and 6 in your wallet at the time of the Challenge you will be able to claim a new “Illuminated Beings” Light Painting. There will be 8 new “Illuminated Beings” released. We will be presenting a new Challenge every 88 days to collectors. There will also be exciting Light Painting Air Drops for collectors. Challenges and/or Airdrops will be announced on my Instagram, Facebook and Twitter Pages. 

MY PLEDGE TO MY COLLECTORS
The long term success, integrity and value of my Light Painting Work is something that is extremely important to me. My pledge to you is that I will do everything that I can do to provide value to my collectors and increase the value of my work over time.
