Lightpainting and and basics of long exposure photography [DE+EN]
Long exposure photography
Lightpainting
What's lightpainting ?
For lightpainting you use the long exposure photography. During the shutter is open, you could paint with light or several shining elements i.e. flashlights or fire.
What do I need ?
This is the list of the basic equipment I use:
| camera | Canon Eos 60d |
|---|---|
| lens | 17-85mm (default) |
| tripod | Very old one from my father |
| remote shutter | JJC |
my camera on the tripod
Here a list of the things I paint with:
You could take nearly everything. At the right are some of the tools I use.
- flashlights
- sparklers
- steel-wool
- chain of lights
- lightsabers or other shining toys
- and more flashlights with blades
- ...
You could take nearly everything. At the right are some of the tools I use.
Here are some of my lightpainting photos
Maybe you could recognize the tools of the photo above
this is called an orb
It's to cold and it's raining, I can't go outside.
That's no excuse not to try, you could even lightpaint at home in your room.
Let's talk about the camera settings:
| exposure time | normaly between 10 and 60 seconds |
| aperture | depends on the light you paint with, between 4 and 11 |
| ISO | depends on the light around and your camera, between 200 and 1250 |
this is called a dome
Have you recognize the tools ?
I think that wasn't the last article about lightpainting, I have more photos I want to share and I'll discribe the technique for orbs and domes in detail.
Feel free to ask in the comments or tell me what I could improve.

Nice one! I like the domes :)
Thanks
Sind dir wirklich gelungen die Bilder :)
Die magischen Kämpfer find ich ja ne geile Idee, auch deine Freunde mit Nordlicht, aber eigentlich alles super Ideen :)
Danke :)
Wie genau habt ihr das jetzt gemacht mit drn taschenlampen? Nachdem du auf den auslöser gedruckt hast. Die Bilder sind echt mega krass! :D
Je nach dem was du haben möchtest, bewegst du die Taschenlampe in der Form. Bei dem einen Bild hab ich also dieses grüne Plastikteil vor die kamera gemacht und bin dann hinter meinen Freunden langgelaufen und habe sie umrandet. Bei den Kugeln gibt es ne besondere technick die ich später noch erkläre.
Das ist gleich mal einen Upvote wert
