Workshop - Light Painting

One of our members, Justin, suggested we try light painting. He sent us a link to a video with instructions and ideas to start with. So, tonight that's what we did!

We suggest if you try this yourself, that you think of some ideas and images you'd like to create before setting everything up to get a basis for what you're like to achieve.

We started off with some simple light painting using our little LED flashlights. We outlined ourselves, drew some pictures, and then at the end of the workshop, we got a little more creative. We had one model, one person holding the external flash, one person with the flashlight for added drawing and one person manning all the cameras. With the exposure set to bulb (keep the shutter release button held down for as long as you want and release once the drawing is finished), we used the test flash button on the external flash to light the subject, then for the rest of the exposure in the dark, the one with the flashlight added drawings.
