Really nice pics! If you don't mind, can you post how you took those shots? The settings involved? I've always wanted to take night shots but I keep on getting glares and the lights always are very 'star' looking. Is it cause I'm using too long of a shutter speed? if I lower my shutter speed then I'm underexposing the pic. . .what ISO should I be using? :(

Truely amazing work! Your mastering of lighting is insane and makes your images unique like no other! :eek:

I concur, great lighting! But I would have maybe zoomed in a little more so that the children (who appear to be the subject of the photo) take up more than 5% of the photo. :)

thx for the comments. hehe, the children was just there, mom wanted me to take pics of the garden for my aunt in china :)

more light play

Love this series Pao :)

Thanks daniel.
I figured since i suck at composing shots and actually capturing it, i'd be a bit more creative haha

But, now that I have the feel for it, I plan on improving on this style.

What works will with this is using a flash.

Do a long exposure with a high fstop and fire the flash at the begining. That will light your scene and then you can move around and do your drawings without any ghosting like we are seeing the two photos above.

I did some myself a while back, but I can't find them now :(

What kind of light did you use to get this effect? Is it some sort of a laser pointer, or a flash light?

That's really wicked except for one thing: you'd never know it's flash-lit (almost looks HDR) except for the shadow of the satellite dish on the wall. :D

And the kids having shadows in two directions.

Hmm, true, didn't notice that... and the flowerpot shadows you could almost pass off as being from the sun... but the dish shadow there just really jumps out at me.

Looks like he used those cheap LED lights. Those are well done - especially the first set. I've worked with a Vancouver photographer who is a master @ painting with light...his work is amazing. Keep it up!

This is one area where digital has a HUGE advantage in being able to try different things and check the results immediately :)

Yep, the deal extreme 10 pack led's.
Swapped out the lights in those with something more powerful.
Just point the light at the camera and you're set. =)

Heh...I did light painting in studio with a 4x5 loaded with Velvia. I'll scan and post them when I have time.

^ woot we did it on 4x5 and 120mm. it was pretty fun.. i guess...... neahhhhhhhhh but it was for a stupid assignment imo...all negs with my classmates :(. you didn't happen to have that lighting class with Rick etkin or something like that did you?

^^^ No, Patrick Koslo. Simply amazing stuff.

Siem Reap, Cambodia.

10GB of RAW images. Just downloaded today :). Gonna edit the photos while sitting around the Tokyo airport tomorrow. Here's two simple shots. Siem Reap is amazing! The vignetting is from my stacked filters :(.
