How to make light painting with SLR?

It is best for many people to cooperate and make a light painting effect. One person is responsible for taking pictures, and the others are responsible for drawing.

Shooting needs to be done in a dark place or at night, so that the light and shadow effect is more obvious.

First, fix the camera on the tripod and connect it to the cable release. These are the consequences of ensuring that the camera will not blur the image because of jitter when shooting.

Secondly, set the camera to M and the shutter to B, so that there is enough time for creation. Aperture Setting a smaller aperture helps to keep a clear focus. The exact aperture size is not the key, you can try to expose it several times to see how the setting works. Just set ISO to 100.

Third, it is recommended to use an external flash when shooting, so that you can flexibly grasp the flash time. Before shooting, first illuminate the subject with a flashlight to focus the camera, then turn off the flashlight and start exposure.

Finally, multiple exposures should be used. A single exposure is difficult to express the artistic conception you want to express, and multiple exposures will make the photos more colorful and exciting.

The person in charge of painting has prepared different colors of luminous bodies. The small light bulb of LED is very good, small in size, high in brightness and good in effect.
