This photo taken by David Parry kind of looks
like a typical photoshop technique, but believe
me IT IS NOT! It is a manually taken photo, with
just a little playing around with colour.
Have a look at David's tutorial to see exactly
how simple it is to get this effect
1. You will need:
- Torch (he used a small MagLite)
- Paintbrush
- Aluminium foil
- Tripod mounted camera
- Wired remote (optional)
2. Make a snoot out of aluminium foil to attach
to the end of the torch, so you can control
the direction and spread of the light. His
looked something like this.
Note: You can use tape to stop light coming
through the gap in the join
3. If you are taking the photos by yourself you
can attach the wired remote to the paintbrush,
but you can also get someone to help you
taking the photos
4. Set the camera to manual, F/8, 5 secs and
focused to infinity.
Hold the torch and the paintbrush together
as shown below. Press
the shutter button.
Hold the torch still for about 1 sec, and then
move it away from the paintbrush as shown.
5. The end result David got after 20-30 exposures:
A little post-production:
David felt the lines were too uniform, so he found
another exposure
and added it as an 'overlay' layer
to the original. This produced a more
random light
stream as below.
He then used 'curves' to change the color of the
light to purple, and did
some other clean up work
like enhancing the paintbrush. To produce this
final result.
