Light Painting Photowalk with Precision Camera

Light Painting Night Photography

Photographing in low light can be a challenge, but mastering this technique also grants freedom. Painting your subject with light gives amazing control. During this class, we will explore the possibilities of light painting including how and when to use different types of light sources, how to control and play with color at night, how to determine proper exposure and the basics of compositing multiple painted frames to form a single image.

Please be aware that this is a LATE workshop. We will begin at Precision Camera with a short classroom session and then proceed to a nearby location in Austin to shoot. You will have to drive/carpool between Precision and the shooting location. The class will require walking and carrying your gear.
