Program for the Evening: Painting with Light: Rob Fisher
This very informative program covering light techniques, types of painting with light, and different kinds of light sources.
Basic conditions used when painting with light: usually done in low light outdoors at night or in an unlighted room, slow shutter speed- few seconds to several minutes, and lighting source that has movement.
Types of light painting: line drawing effect, area lighting effect, paint smearing effect, combination of effects, combining regular photography with light painting photography.
Different kinds of light sources will vary from a flashlights to a mini-mag. Try different lights. .Experiment!!!!
After the program some stayed and did experiment!
Thanks Rob for a very informative and enjoyable evening!
For more information take a look at “paint with time: article in the June 2008 Popular photography Magazine for a good reference on using natural light and painting with time.
