Light Painting Church Editing Tutorial
I was in the district where I shot this lovely old church and decided to show you how I put the image together. We continue my nightscape images editing tutorials this week and I hope you get something out of this video that you can put into practice with your own nightscape photography.

Most mornings I take advantage of my husband sleeping in so I can watch your videos on the TV. One morning hubby came out and watched your entire episode and was hooked. He knows nothing about Lightroom or Photoshop but has appreciated the impact you videos has had not only on my editing but photos. As we travel around Australia he often suggests places to light paint. Hopefully once this huge weather systems departs our area we can get clear skies and no moon to do some. Thank you for the inspiration

Thanks for another super video. I mentioned before, that in europe we have very few old objects lying around - well last week I discovered two old mining machines, each 40 x12 m and 500 tons. One of the is potentially right for a milkyway shot, but this will only be possible next July! When I get it, I'll share it.

Your amazing tuition has opened up a new world of creative photography for me and I'm really enjoying it, so thanks a million for that. By the way, the image in this video is stunning, with the light and dark in the lighting matching the same in the Milky Way. Brilliant, and many thanks again, Richard.

Thanks for providing the step-by-step tutorial. It was very helpful. Light painting can be tricky, depending on your subject matter and goals. At some sites, e.g. US National Parks, light painting can be prohibited. In those cases, I've switched to long exposure and/or stacked images. In some of those instances, I've found using my cell phone glow adequate - a bit of a work through in areas that may prohibited artificial light 😇. Of course, it always helps if no one else is around, including bears. Cheers.

It always takes time to master these things Adilson, but it will come with practice.
With the quick selection tool, your ctrl and alt keys can control additive/distraction selection. if you create your layer mask AFTER the selection, it will automatically create a mask from the selection. makes things a tad faster/easier!
