This is an excerpt from Light Painting Photography VLOG 60 that I felt needed its own post as this is a very common question in the Light Painting Photography community. I am calling it a Light Painting Photography Tutorial but it is really just hitting on one major point! Slowing down your movements with your light source can dramatically change the look and feel of your Light Painting Photography work.
Every Light Painting is a recipe, the ingredients are:
Camera settings.
Lumen output of your light source .
The speed at which you move.
Changing any one of these three ingredients can dramatically change the look and feel of your Light Painting work. If you have adjusted your camera to the settings you want to use, you have your brightest light source to work with and your images are not as bright as you would like one simple solution is to slow down your movements!
For the promotion and progression of Light Painting!
