Painting with Light

Annotation

Throw your preconceptions about light-painting out the window and prepare for a creative journey that will revolutionize your photography. Light painting is a classic photography technique that involves selectively illuminating sections of a dark subject by moving a light source (like a flashlight) over the subject during the course of a seconds- or minutes-long exposure. This results in uniquely nuanced depictions with a high level of technical artistry.As Eric Curry shows, however, todays hardware and software allow you to produce light-painting images that are anything but traditional! In this book, youll learn, step by step, how to plan and execute incredible, nuanced images using simple gear, a whole lot of imagination, and todays powerful postproduction software. With these techniques, your imagination is the only limit to what you can create!
