Light Painting Tutorial: How To Light Paint Wings

Light Painting Tutorial: How To Light Paint Wings
In this light painting photography tutorial Jason D. Page shows how to create wings using the feather plexiglass attachment from the Light Painting Brushes system. As you will see the new feather plexiglass light painting tool is also great for creating light writing and light graffiti, light orbs, abstract light painting and even beings made of light.

It's been quite a while, but this video of you has been a big help to me. I'm leaving a comment saying thank you right now. Thank you.

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. It is a compliment that you came back to comment and it is much appreciated. I am happy to know that this video has helped you!

[@ELBlDu]

I have a great interest in learning this type of photography. I must say this is not only interesting to watch but very motivating. Now I just need to figure out the direction I want to take it. Watching you is a visual pleasure. I can only hope that my pictures will turnout to do the same for someone. That is when I become a master like you, sense...

finaly a real photographer. not thoes so called pros that spend more time in photoshop than raking the shots.

[@SalandFindles]

+Skip ad Post-processing is where photos really come alive and pop.

[@robinte98]

If you think these shots weren't edited, you are naive. Of course it's important to take a good image first, but the RAW file right of the camera is desaturated and generally not so impressive colourwise. If you take a JPEG it's already edited in camera so either you let you'r camera do the work, or you decide to do it yourself, so that you have more control over the final result. There is no right or wrong, but I also find myself editing more than actually taking photos (which is also realisic). I think that a good edit is especially important when it comes to light painting, even though I didn't do any light painting until now (but I edited long exposure photos in general, so I have some experience already).

[@tengkuadrian5482]

thanks for tutorial

[@blueman841]

this is really impressive and inspiring. One thing I have never been able to figure out is why is it that when you are behind the subject and flashing the light, you do not appear in the picture? are you editing yourself out in post?

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

Nope I am not editing myself out! The camera will only record what you allow it to see. Here are a few ways that you can stay invisible to the camera: If you wear all dark clothing and do not shine light onto yourself then you will not be illuminated enough to been recorded by the camera, also you should not stand in one place or in one position too long during the exposure. Look closely you notice I am wearing dark clothing, moving around, and being careful not to shine light onto myself. Hope that helps

[@blueman841]

hi loved your tutorial, I have one question. the acrylic torch that your using is it custom made or you have picked online. cheers.

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

[@nishantshah128]

Hey! Is it possible to make separate long exposures for each of the wings, the model and the surroundings....(ie 4 separate images) and then stack them all together?

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

Yes, that is possible. Getting it all in one single exposure is so much more fun though.

[@nishantshah128]

@@LightPaintingPhotography so how do you predict if the painting is going as you want in one single exposure? Is there any simple way to know or is it trial and error?

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

@@nishantshah128 It is all trial and error, while it can be challenging to get a complicated image in one single exposure it is a very rewarding feeling to see it happen in one single exposure.

[@sandhyaveeramony2947]

I got a question how do you hold the exposure for that long?

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

Shoot in bulb or manual mode and use a cable release. Some camera are only capable of 15-30 second exposures so your camera must have a manual or bulb setting.

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

Thank you Ernesto

[@guido7095]

wouldnt it be just easier to add the lights in photoshop?

[@MrDoga1]

Awsme bro

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

Thank you.

[@ScientificLee]

HI..very nice....I have a question though...in my first few attempts the pic is ruined due to facial blur...how do you stop that?

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

Have your model stay as still as possible and the key to getting sharp focus in a long exposure is to only pass the light over your subjects face ONE single time. blur happens when you do multiple passes because even the best models move.

[@JamesSeo]

I dont understand how the picture didn't capture you in it?

[@saadazzahrani]

there was no light on him plus he was moving all over the set so the camera won't see him.

[@superamazeing]

because he never lit himself up, that's why at the beginning he started off lighting up the subject and the environment. the camera will only pick up light

[@JWEX500]

So if he set the ISO higher would he appear in the photo?

[@harikrishna7690]

May i know what was the aperture and shutter speed,

[@axelaxel1677]

Arnaud Thirry present your channel in the "Le tremplin de poche 6" video !

[@HelgaChrist]

can you give a little advise, why the result is blur when I took it my head just move a little bit . But in this video the model makes many moves but the result is not blur

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

If you only pass the light over your model one single time while they are standing still the model should remain in sharp focus.

i dont understand how he didn't get caught in the photo..i understand he didn't light him self up..but when he did the wings i would have thought the light would reflect off him

Wear dark clothes and keep moving and you should not show up in the exposure.

How is the model not blured in the photo without using flash light

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

Only pass light over your model one time, multiple light passes create the blur because the camera is recording even the smallest movements of the model.

[@scottporter4524]

Dude, thank you for sharing this! So thankful I found you and your vids. Quick question, how does the color filter (for flashlight I'm assuming) and the lens hood have anything to do with you not showing up in the final photo? I've done many light painting pics and wore all black clothes and always end up with a few ghost-like shadows of myself I have to edit out.. Can you expand more on this please or do you have any tips or advice? Maybe the brightness/color of your light is why, compared to me using a sparkler, steel wool, and some other LED's, but I don't believe you when you say you don't show up in the final pic. :) Many thanks in advance!

[@LightPaintingPhotography]

Thanks Scott! The hood doesn't really have much to do with "You" not showing up in the final image other than you won't get any light spill onto yourself as you are projecting light into the scene. The hood is to block the light source from begin recorded by the camera so you won't get the streaks of light you would without it. To make sure you don't show up in the final image its all a matter of finding the right combination of settings and making sure that you move a lot. If you are standing in a stationary position spinning steel wool then its going to be really difficult because you are not moving and the light from the steel wool is going to spill onto you. If you consistently move around and don't let light spill onto you then you should show up in your image.
