Noctography - Tutorial 4: Light Stencils

[gammarayfighter]

@Noctography excellent man, nicely done!

[Excess2007]

Thanks a lot for the reply! Do you have any other advice for the stencils, where to get designs etc.

[Noctography]

@Excess2007 Just experiment really, a lot of trial and error involved. Only flash once, a common mistake people make. Use quite a low power on the flash gun. As for design just make your own, get a logo you like, or go in to photoshop have a black background with white text, write something you want, and print it off. anything with a black background will do.

@Noctography Thanks again, keep up with the tutorials they are great

@Noctography How do you get different colored stencils? Like say I want orange lighting instead of white?

[Noctography]

@MineIsTheOnlyCraft - if you have something White that you want in Orange, just go in to photoshop and change it from White to Orange, the rest is the same, just when you flash through the stencil, it will come out Orange instead of White.

How big was the box that was used to make the "funnel?"

[Noctography]

@Excess2007 It was actually a huggies nappy box, but I had to cover it up because of copyright. the largest bit is just larger than A4, the smaller end is the same size as my flash gun.

[Noctography]

sweet, love the pics at the beginning. I made pretty much the same design with the slide in/flaps.
