Bottle in Blue

Bottle in Blue

This is such a fun technique called Painting with light.  It's so fun to do & one that never gets old to look at.  Looks very high tech to me.  When in reality, it's all about manipulating the amount of light you are allowing the camera to see.  It has to be shot in total darkness.  And with each take you never know exactly what you are going to get.

In this photo, I love the how the bottle is outlined.  Such a classic shape.  I don't know that there's anyone that does not recognize that as a Coke.

Fun with Paint

Painting with light technique. This is so fun to do and even more fun to play with in Photoshop. This particular image just seemed to really call for bright and vivid colors. It's just bursting to have a good time!

Blue Eyes

The focus is a little off, but this was shot in complete dark.

May the Force Be With You

Another shot from our family shooting night. At first, we were a little disappointed at the blue light that strayed from the light saber. After looking at it on my computer, I really liked the way that it gives the lightsaber action as if it had just been moved from that spot. This is a fun technique with lots of possibilities!

Star Wars Battlefront

This was a fun family project. We all contributed to this painting with light technique to create an interesting Star Wars Battle.

Now, this was fun

I just learned a new technique called painting with flash. This was so much fun to do. I've been looking around my house trying to find other items I want to try this out on. I hope you enjoy them! I know I had a great time making them.
