Light Painting and Drawing

Monday, October 28

7:00pm  *** Note Earlier Start Time ***

Newton Senior Center

​

Jürgen Lobert

​

Adding artificial light to photos taken at night can be done through a number of techniques. Light painting adds additional light to existing surfaces, but light drawing is one of the few techniques where a photographer can actively create unique and intriguing content, rather than simply photographing existing objects.

​

In this talk, Jürgen will share his three secrets for mastering light painting and drawing. He will also cover night photography equipment and settings, exposure considerations when adding light, light painting/drawing tools, and post-processing considerations. 

​

Throughout the presentation, Jürgen will demonstrate a number of light painting tools and shows how to use them and how they look like in the many visual examples.

​

Be sure to register for the companion Light Painting Workshop on November 8th at Castle Island.
