These are the really basic things you need to know before getting started. If you are completely new to light painting, have a look at these videos.
Ball of Light Masterclass
Creating the Ball of Light has been my lead project for around 8 years now. It has been so much fun on many levels. The tutorial is all about sharing as many tip and tricks as i can to help you improve your light painting skills.

ASTRO LIGHT PAINTING - THE TREE
Deep in the Flinders Ranges, at my favourite tree, we create a rather simple bit of light painting under a huge milky way. These are my favourite nights out, with great friends, super remote and having a blast.
Light Painting With Astro - The Ruin
Combining high camera sensitivity with astro and light painting is a huge amount of fun. Freezing cold, super dark and very remote. All the things I love about these images! I am in no way an "astro photographer", but I hope you find some inspiration here to head out and have a go. I am using the incredibly Olympus EM1mkiii feature Starry Sky Auto Focus to get focus, an incredible feature that has been empowering for my astro work.
