- Here is a short tutorial of how I use the Black Fiber Brushes
here are some other examples: www.gunnarheilmann.com/light-...
The only difference to the actual video - I normally use my Canon most of the time .. the Olympus helps to illustrate it for you ...
That beautiful model I did not introduce to you (shame on me) is Lisa Xuan. She is a long-time friend and she is been helping me here and there. Thanx!
and she says: The model needs to hold still!! really still!

To achieve a color-changing effect you also use a Color shine Multi-Color LED Flashlight - the issue here is that the entire brush has then one color!

if you look for an option in Europe you might try shopping at
lightpaintingparadise.com/en/...
for the connector, you can have a look at the page of light painting thingies ;-)
directly to the page with the brush I use:
lightpaintingbrushes.com/coll...
I got there the connector and the black brush ...
be careful with the international shipping - there is also some possible import tax depending on where you order
If you have any more questions about how it's done ask me, please.

Hello! Amazing technique! Please, is it possible to have that live view with canon cameras?
That's just awesome I wish I could afford the equipment I only make like $800 a month and can't find any place with payments low enough to afford all I have is a Canon rebel T7 with a micro lens like 55mm I think and a Telephoto zoom lens 75-300mm I think idk not digging it out right now to look lol got it on the QVC website with payments no credit check but with the monthly payments that was don't one I could get wish I can get lenses and equipment like you have
You can do most of the stuff easy with standard equipment. I aquired so much gear over many more years, since this is my passion for sooo many years. When you know you stick with it and have the time and space to do so its worth it.
Awesome
Thank you so much - glad i could be of inspiration.
Thank you
just for fun i will use video camera and after effect with echo effect, hope that helps
well keep me updated .. would love to see what you make of it!
Hello!
I have to do a little job with lightpainting but I can't unlock this issue, help hahaha!!
In this video, I see how hand in hand that you paint the effect appears on the monitor, how do you set the camera?
I have the Nikon 810, I tried to put it in live view but when I press the shutter it goes all black and you can only see the result when you close it again... finished photo...
What is your camera or software set to do with the shots? It says it's compositing. Thanks for sharing. Gorgeous technique!
This is part of the Olympus camera. Its nothing special just connect to your TV. Glad you like it.
Great video, cool effect. What ISO do you normally use?
it depends on the gels i put on the brush .. i do a little try and error usually .. .. with the darker colors, less white it goes up to say ISO800 .. .. also when iam closer 160 or 200 is good .. .. when i open the aperature ;-) same thing
"You can light up the model"
Happens to be lighting up the chest area lol.
Then he says "If the model allows you to." - She didn't look like she was having it HA! JK This is a great tutorial.
Hi! So i'm a little new to working with photography and was wondering if you can answer a few questions about shooting for light painting. First, do you need to use a interval shooting setting to take this picture? and also, what would be the best guess for iso and f-stop for a nikon(d3100)? or would I not be able to shoot with that camera? Lol sorry for all the questions
Depending on your torch you can play with the ISO - There are moments i crank it up to ISO 800 when i need to fast so the skin is more crisp and sharp. F-Stop between F8 and sometimes even F22 when i want more time.
Gunnar, at around minute mark 1:10 where we can see the multi colored ends of the tool, what tape was applied to the light? In the scene before I thought I saw only red tape on there. I'm looking for a solution that doesn't melt as well. I use the Eagletac lights that Eric recommended, and they will ruin a gel within minutes. Any suggestions? Or use a lower power light for the fiber brush?
Christopher Brown Photography .... thats the problem with some flashlights .. the klarus also have no heat management .. sent all eagletac back .. i used a ledlenser they dont heat up so much .. yes less lumen will do .. increase ISO may be ... and yes i put different color gels on it ..
@gunnar great video. Can you tell me how to edit ORF file? because I have also tried light paint before but I fail in postproduction. So, if you suggest any idea it would help me. thanks in advance.
Hey there. I use Lightroom for my photos but essentially i only do: 1. WB 2. Brightness adjustment 3. sometimes i pull down the black. 4. the lens correction - I could crerate a video on that - but there is not too much to it .. i really try to come as close as possible to SOOC - i rather take a few more shots.
just for fun i will use video camera and after effect with echo effect
hello, I would like to know what software you use to have a live video feedback from your lightpainting thank you. And sorry for my English
I just connected the Olympus directly to the display. The software comes directly from the camera. There are a few different people offering a software. Eric Pare or Jörg Miezda or Dan Roberts. Just go find them and see if it is something you can use for life Light Painting. Have fun !
After watching this many times I finally realized what I was doing incorrectly last week.
Hi there, great stuff ;-) How many LUMEN is the light that you are using in the video. I noticed that the ends light up very bright. I bought the black brush but the ends doesn't light up as much as your's :-O
if you dont have a very strong flashlight just bump up the ISO to 800 or a 1000. Works for me just fine.
@@gunnarheilmann7135 THX :-)
how do you connect your camera on a screen...? what software you use?? a have a Nikon D3300...
FuckNewChannelDesing yes, @gunnar totally need to know how to actively watch the exposure happening!?!?
@@marcuseatherly8136 buy an olympus OM-D camera
My question is if you have any lenses your tired of will you let me have them lol 😂
How did you see the frame and what was happening, on the TV during the exposure???
These cameras have"Tethering" (E-M1II, 5 II, 10 II)
you can connect the Olympus in LifeComp mode to your screen and see the picture evolve in real time - like @jacobhovman stated -- they can help you to practice lightpainting
@@jakobhovman hi, jakob i have olympus em 10 mark2 but how whats the setting of this Tethering and how i show my camera on TV screen.. i use with my mobile but how i use on TV screen and what is Tethering
@@asadbaig6812 Hello hello...! Olympus have a program: "Capture".
This lets you see And use the camera view and settings
from a computer. Very handy and reliable for studio work...!
Tethering means: Connected via usb-cable
Greetings...Hope this helps.
Jakob

Hey Gunnar - wie nimmst du das Bild am Ende auf - du erklärst es sicher im Video, aber ich versteh kein Wort :D Ich habe eine Lumix G81 - kann ich das damit nachstellen? Das Zubehör habe ich gefunden, jetzt fehlt mir "nur" die Umsetzung ;)
Danke dir schon mal für die Antwort - thx - Summer-Pics
Sorry für die späte Antwort. Eventuell kontaktierst du mich mal auf einem direkten Kanal und dann erklär ich dir gern deine Fragen direkt.
I have a little question. You are using colour gels to make your fiber optic colourful. In another LPB tutorial it is written that if you want different colours of fiber optics, you can use RGB flashlight. I am interested what if I buy just white light painting brushes and I will use RGB flashlight, will it work, will I get the same effect, or do I have to buy all the brushes to get different colours? Maybe you or somebody else know the answer? :)
i also used RGB torches --- thats your decision and it looks cool too - essentially its what kind of effects you after - there is the little color shine flashlight that has some 15 different colors - that would give you more choice in colors rather than RGB and it cost like 12$ or so
my english is maybe a little bad but what did you use to get your brush with a lot colors ?
anything that is translucent kind of filtering the light. Could be a wrapping foil from food or shampoo or photogels. Just make sure your torch does not burn the plastic!
How did you get multiple colors out of the same brush?
Sorry for the late answer. I dont check that often. But to answer your question: If you look closely i have different gels taped to the adapter so some of the fibers are red some blue and so on.
What did you put in between the connector and the fibre optics to get the multi colours?
its just some tesa film / scotch tape with some colored gels or foils wat ever you have at hand that changes the color of the light
Ok thanks. I've managed to get a single colour but I'm not sure how to get the multi colours all in one?
just cut out a few small bits and put them onto the tape .. then you influense where the appear on the fibers
Nice tutorial nice girl.
great tutorial! is there any tool to substitute the black fiber brush?
there are those cheap 3$ lamps that look the same .. i tried these .. they also work
How did you get multiple colors in one gel?
Iam really sorry for the late answer. I missed that question of yours. I dont check that often. But to answer your question: If you look closely i have different gels taped to the adapter so some of the fibers are red some blue and so on.
Where do you get that brush
see in bio - there are two different shops i can recommend - in the US and Europe
both ship world wide but it depends on if you want to deal with customs
What software is that you are tethered to!!!??? 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Its the build in Olympus Live Composite mode connected to the TV. Which i like a lot. I dont use it very often for the actual lightpainting but for this kind of stuff its great.
Where do I buy this optical fiber?
well there is a link in the description .. the second option is to purchase one of those black fiber lamps and take them apart .. might be cheaper but you need to be a little crafty ... good luck when trying that technique
How to get that many colours ?thanks
sorry for the late answer. I dont check that often. But to answer your question: If you look closely i have different gels taped to the adapter so some of the fibers are red some blue and so on.
hello... What software was used to see the effect in real time?
Marcio Oliveira ... i just connected the Olympus OMD directly to the screen in livecomp mode .... there is no extra software i used during the video ... but you can use "lightpaint live mercury" if you want to do that with some different camera and some software
Gunnar Heilmann ...thanks Gunnar... i used Canon t5... great tutorial and photos...
How were you able to get so many colors in one brush?
i took the tape and put little flakes of different gels on it
what software did you use sir?
I just connected the Olympus to the screen. What you see is a built-in function of the camera. super cool to teach and learn. Normally I don't use that when I actually take photos.
Would you share which software you using?
not sure what you asking. During the video i just connected to the screen from the camera. So its the build in Olympus Live Composite mode. Which i like a lot. I dont use it very often for the actual lightpainting but for this kind of stuff its great.
Yes, the Live Composite mode is great. We can see the result instantly. I was wonder to know any software could do that. Thank you for your kindly reply.
just for fun i will use video camera and after effect with echo effect
How long was your shutter?
The shutter differs from photo to photo. Its really as loong as i take to paint her. Something from 20sec. to 90sec. for this kind of stuff. The models usually cant stand still that long unless you fixate them on the back of their head > that helps!
Really that long? WOW. Um...how do you keep it so sharp without any motion blur with that long of an exposure. Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to figure this out, it's simply amazing!! Thank You!!
Can u give me the link of the brush...
That was so creative....I need to try this ....plz if u have then sent me that link of that product (black fiber brush)
the links are in the bio ;-)
totally need to know how to actively watch the exposure happening？
this is a feature of the Olympus OMD - called LifeComp Mode ..many beginners lightpainter use this kind of Camera - its really easy to train with this and test tools .. i use the live come for photo booth and these tutorials .. everybody understands right away whats happening .. the OMD 1/ 5 / 10 do that .. not sure about other models
Too much talking ... Just a lot of gibberish.. waste of time
Thanks for the feedback - you can turn off the sound if you don't need that - I do that too and I won't take t personally. No worries.
