    Really good video! Well explained in an easy way :) I don't know if you know this, or just prefer things the way you shoot it, BUT.. Wouldn't you want to go into second curtain sync, so that the light-trails falls behind the subject and not on top of them? Makes the subject pop out of the image a little more.
    Anyway that's the way I have been taught and from my own experience, it works the best..
    Anywaaaayy.. Great video! Love your werk :D

    Great tutorial! What you talk about at @6:40 is HUGE! I tend to shoot all the formal stuff with bounce flash (so first dance, parent dances, stuff like that). But then when everyone is partying out and getting drunk that's when you turn on that light painting and get out on the dance floor with everyone. 👌👌 Great stuff. Keep it coming.

    Awesome tutorial! My wedding photographer did this and I always wondered how she did a long exposure but kept the subject crisp, but it’s all the flash! Super cool, thanks for explaining that. I wonder if it’s at all possible to replicate this, even to some degree, with a built in flash?

    • @EricFloberg
      @EricFloberg  5 років тому

      Yeah, you should be able to get a similar look with the built-in flash as long as you drag the shutter. It just won't look as dramatic because you probably can't zoom the built-in flash to get that small oval of light.

  • @marclabro
    @marclabro Рік тому

    nice tuto. I had heard rear curtain should be used. With 1/4sec shutter speed i often have blur people because there is enough light in party for camera to get the subject. I often use 1/125 or 1/160sec with good ambiance but cannot make streak effects like you of course.

    Nice work! I finally found someone using similar technique of mine to shoot pictures. I called my technique as "Yee Technique". I have been searching for similar technique for more than 2 years. Lights and subjects were in motion, you captured them nicely. No doubt about it. But there is a little problem. The pictures were a little dark to me.(personal opinion, no harsh feeling) It would be better when you can figure out you can shoot the same technique with brighter result.

    Hi right to say that in the video we miss the part where you hold the camera in an other light source to get these strings ? just moving the camera around will not creat that. So you fire and then within the next x/2 seconds you need to create the moments into a light source. Any behind the scene pictures for that what kind of light you used?

    • @lander77477
      @lander77477 4 роки тому +5

      The very short duration of the flash is what gives you a sharp image because the flash freezes the motion, and leaving the shutter open adds some blurry ambient light imagery to the photo, its kinda like 2 photos in 1 all done in camera, 1 photo is sharp and lit only by the flash, the other is all smeared and blurred from the ambient light
