In this lesson I reveal how I capture light paintings using colored light sources. I describe my shooting mindset and show you what it looks like while I capture over a dozen exposures and then combine them into a single Photoshop document. If you choose not to do your own light painting, then you can experiment with the exposures that I captured, which can be downloaded below.Note: The downloadable practice images for this lesson have been compressed into a .zip archive. That means you'll need to double-click on the file to extract its contents before attempting to use the images in Photoshop.
NOTE: Some Windows users have reported issues accessing the video playback controls. While we're working on the issue, here's a Temporary Workaround: Click "Introduction" in the table of contents to the right of the video and then immediately click within the video to give it focus. After doing so, use the spacebar to play/pause the video and the left/right arrow keys to scrub forward or backward within the video.
