Another fantastic video and your instructional pacing is easy to follow. Thank you! Two questions. Can the resulting light trails be eliminated altogether by using an alternate shooting method? Secondly, instead of brushing out individual light trails on a layer-by-layer basis, why not merge layers then brush out all light trails on a single combined layer?
@nightscapeimages.richard7 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching. It's hard to shoot an alternate method because I cannot light the scene without getting right into the shot. If I merged all the layers before rubbing out the light streaks then I'll end up eliminating the background.

Good morning Richard! Very nice piece here. Very nice indeed. Love this indoor stuff too, as it opens lots of doors for more shooting!!! Couple questions (sorry if you've already covered them). As I understand it, everything here is shot with a fixed aperture and focus. Q1: Is there a time you might focus stack an indoor shot like this. Q2: In my mind, the aperture (on a shot like this) is one of the best ways to control blow-outs (like the wool), do you start there (the brightest area) and find your f/stop (while still being mindful of your DOF), then build your subsequent shots on that? Q3: I am a diver, and underwater, light from the front tends to cause dust/particles (backscatter) to be bright and often out of focus blobs, do you consider this when shooting in a dusty environment like this, and how would you control for it during the shoot, and do you clean these particles up only at the very end on the flattened image? Thank again...
@nightscapeimages.richard2 жыл бұрын
Thanks as always for watching Paul. Really appreciated. Firstly I find that at f8 everything is quite sharp. I wouldn't want to focus stack in a case like this for fear of introducing focus breathing which some lenses have. Both the aperture and even more so the lower iso will control the blow outs and give me great dynamic range. I prefer to establish my settings first and then simply add the required amount of light to get correct exposure. Having said that, correct exposure is a very broad term .. I'm happy to under-expose a bit and simply bring it up in post. I rarely light from the front at all so the dust isn't an issue. There was a lot of dust around but none of it shows on the images.

Nice video. I love these light painting videos. We have been light painting a few antique cars and trucks and I am finding that I get a lot of reflective glare from the flashlight (torch) bouncing off the shiny car body when I am light painting. I can sometimes eliminate it by rubbing it out, but not always. It depends upon whether I have another shot that sufficiently lights the area after I rub it out. I was thinking about trying to reflect the torch light off another white surface like a piece of foam board to soften the light. Have you ever dealt with those reflections? What is the best way to handle them? Also, can you recommend a light painting therapist so I can learn to handle rubbing myself out?😁
@nightscapeimages.richard2 жыл бұрын
Haha, well the therapy is a lifelong journey under the stars Ken ...!!!! Yes a larger and softer light source will cure the dreaded hot spots .. but it's harder to apply the light with a big light. Many people use larger LED panels with barn doors to light cars with good results. Also stopping down the aperture and lower iso will help give back some dynamic range .. less blow outs.
