    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

      ​@@EricFloberg Really? :O :D Well then I'm just super glad that I could help :) It really does make all the difference! Just keep in mind that now you'll have to do the painting first, and at the end of the exposure, frame the subject!

    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  Před 5 lety

      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.

    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.

    Admittedly, some days I think you're an egotistic son of a gun and then you do something like this... nobody teaches this and it's soooo frustrating to me. I know my way around a camera pretty well, but some of these more technical types of tricks and effects are things I still have yet to conquer and really figure out. THANK YOU soooo much for doing this for us!! I would sure give the world for you to also do a couple of videos teaching us how to photograph sparkler exits, how to photograph those cigar smoke photos of the guys on wedding day, and how to get that hair spray shot when the bride is getting ready. I'd also love to learn how to do some of those trick photos that so many of you do on wedding days - the reflection, shooting through things, bokeh lights, ring shots with an extra fun flair, etc. A super fun photographer that does a lot of this stuff is Jason Martin with Concept Photography. This guy has some super cool photography tricks and effects and I still have yet to figure out how he does a lot of them.

    • @lander77477
      @lander77477 Před 4 lety +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

  • @tobyyee354
    @tobyyee354 Před 3 lety

    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.

  • @TSchnurr1
    @TSchnurr1 Před 5 lety +1

    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?

    Wayni do it is not to focus the beam and quickly twist which make a surrounding circle of awesome light by the best one is using a zoom lens you put it at 24 on 24-70 and then quickly twist the zoom to 70 when firing leaves the center subject and beams of light like your in a tunnel then I do the opposite from 70 to 24! Then I throw on stupid presets I would never use regularly. 😂
