It’s camera club talk season, and over the next few months I have three scheduled.

  • 04/10/2011 – Cumbernauld and Kilsyth
  • 11/11/2011 – Inverclyde
  • 01/02/2012 – Stirling

I’ve been to Cumbernauld and Kilsyth once before, so I’m looking forward to meeting some new people at Inverclyde and Stirling.

This coming Sunday (07/11/2010) I’m running a light painting workshop for North Lanarkshire Council at the Summerlee Photomedia Studio in Coatbridge. The cost is £15 – some places are still available. To book, call David Peace on 01236 638463 or click the link below.

Painting with Light

After several years acting as a mirror address for this site, LightPainting.org has now been re-launched as a community based site dedicated to light painting. Please go take a look and sign up if you’re interested in light painted photography.

LightPainting.org

If you want to have a go at light painting but don’t have a lot of high-end equipment, have a look at the Light Painting with Basic Equipment article in the Techniques section. It covers basic light painting using a compact camera and a cheap plastic tripod.

Light Painting with Basic Equipment

After documenting my collection of cameras, I’ve just done the same thing for the lights that I use for my light painting work. They can be found in the Lights Gallery (under Techniques in the main menu) with each image containing a link to a gallery of the images taken with that light.

As with the cameras, each light painted image on the site now has a link to the light that lit it at the bottom.

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been photographing my collection of cameras. They’re now in their own gallery and each image here is linked to the camera that took it – click on an image and you’ll find the link at the bottom. There are now also individual galleries for the images taken with the Canon 5D, Nikon D100, Nikon F100, Shen Hao HZX45-IIA and the Holga 120GN.
