Driving at Night Light Painting Tutorial

In this Light Painting Photography video tutorial, Nocturne (Chris Benbow) shows you how to create long exposure Light Painting images while driving at night!

This unique Light Painting technique freezes the subjects inside the vehicle while allowing the movement of static lights (like streetlamps or headlights) to paint glowing trails through the image. The result gives the impression that the people in the car are traveling through time — which, in a way, they are. 🚗✨
