Implement the tools and philosophy as you learn how to paint with light in a studio environment. Assess the ambient light level in the room. Iterate through multiple tests to find the sweet spot of creating compelling imagery with this technique. Develop a sense of how to move light in relationship to the time of the long exposure. Analyze what is happening in the captures and how to adjust your technique to avoid unwanted artifacts and achieve clean image captures.
With a rock solid lighting base, alternate with different light brushes and gels to create even more variant imagery. Learn to adjust speed and movement of your lighting tools as you paint with a different source shape
