I think a big shout out is warranted for Nigel Danson. Nice of him to collaborate with you on this video. Great job on all fronts.

Enjoy, it's another style to explore! Thanks for watching

Love the mood of these images. Thank you for sharing. I watched Nigel's video last week and now your video. I am inspired and plan to try this approach myself. I have subscribed to your channel and have been learning from Nigel for several years.

Wonderful! Thanks for subscribing 💚 I hope you find some useful content from my channel, enjoy

If you are light painting in a more open space bring your strobe and play with the flash sink and ttl settings. A hood can be used for some high angled up lighting.

Good advice, thanks for watching 🙏

Light painting is highly experimental. I discovered it back in the 70s [long before it was called light painting] as a kid out of pure necessity when I wanted to capture something in post sunset/dusk hours and having only a flashlight. I would generally guess shutter speeds by metering on one spot on the subject illuminated with my flashlight and go from there. Depending on any inclusion of ambient background scenes I would also do the exposure math on that. Since, after affording proper strobes I would use the same ambient scenes and replicate some techniques of the masters I would see in fine art photography magazines with a mix of filtered strobes and flashlight painting. It's crazy that I have yet to do this digitally after leaving film almost 20 years ago. you have inspired me to give it a revisit now, now that cameras these days can preview what you're going to get making it easier to guess the exposure settings needed. Great collaboration with the great Nigel.

It's amazing to read your story, I can imagine with film that was rather tricky. I'd love to see any shots you have to share, I hope you enjoy trying this digitally. I hope to do more weather permitting, I've learnt still nights are the best. Thanks for watching and yes very kind of Nigel to join us

@@SuzannahMary Sorry, after reading this yesterday morning I got a sudden invite to go to last evenings Rolling Stones concert and had to quickly pack and leave, I just got home...Yes with film it was purely trial and error with a LOT of pre-planning and exposure knowledge, Touch but all so fun regardless. If you fail you try again after assessing your negatives and test prints. Thank you, I have decades and drawer full of negative to process (digitize), a project I have been procrastinating to start for too long, ugh :)

That looks an exciting shoot. No spooky sounds in woods!! You both are brave guys. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks it does have a very spooky feeling to it, I do get slightly creeped out going out alone

Please tell us what your shutter speed (bulb mode perhaps?) and aperture settings were as you neglected to mention those important settings. Thank you. (Nevermind, I went to Nigel's channel and saw that he posted them at the bottom of the image he made.)
