[appacana]

thank you sir, good video

[waryu69]

1:58 is so HDR... correct me if i'm wrong

[MichaelTheMentor]

@waryu69 It definitely looks HDR, but I just used a pre-set called "Paintballer Pro" which I created to give HDR look, without all the HDR work. Its available on my blog for purchase. Thanks

[showoffphtography]

@waryu69 can you send me your blog info so i can purchase that

[RoyalPCmods]

You should have used a dead cat on your mic.

[hardvvood]

When you were taking photos of the trees that is called bracketing.

[fntayamin]

Is Lumix LX3 good enough for high-end photography? I'm consider getting a new one but i care about small size & weight.

[antiSkema]

yo are the best-malaysia..

[hanzon]

Not so god sound.

[kahuameleokalani]

are you located on Maui...a lot of these backgrounds look familiar lol

[LeoBabe22]

Oh Michael this sounds so much fun. You have very playfull and fresh approach to the photography field. Now you make me regret the time that I passed up on your course offer which you were teaching in Canada last summer. If you're free let's chat on the phone this weekend :)

[arsenal325]

great tips.

[irjorge]

My T1i just arrived, cant wait til it gets dark to try these, great videos, thanks !!

[soseg]

1-8 seconds is too long for day light... too much light = too bright

[MeHateSome1]

It works with ND filter tho... ALOT of ND filters...

[Furuly]

because your camera lets in to much light, it gets over exposed

[americandream27]

THANK YOU...best vid so far. I have watched them all in order too. This really REALLY helps and inspires us beginners to go out and experiment! I can't wait!

[jackzhangxiao]

the wind sound.,,,,

[Kresnick01]

I just took a picture of the sky at night in good old Gremany a few seconds ago, and I can only say this is f**** great. thanks for the vid ^^

[existence92]

Wow; that's amazing. thank you very much. :)

[KANEDL25]

When you did the painting with lights II, how come it only captured the light from the flashlight and not you? I would have though it would have given a ghosting effect where there would have been a trail of yourself holding the flashlight.

[maramarky]

same question too.. der should be ghostly images on him from that image but only the flashlight has the effect and not him.. though it does look cool. cant wait to try experiment some of it my own.. just reminds me of RHCP mtv that has dis effect in their videos. hehe

[PauloRicardoSantos]

good question..

[junzo150]

Great tips and advise! I bought your dvd and it was awesome for a beginner like me. One question. Do I have to make the "Yay" sound when done? =p Keep up the great work!

[albeena46]

Thanks Michael!

[00alx00]

[vungtau5]

[carrierexchange]

Great tips! I'm gonna try 'em tonight!

5*

[acapmex1]

hey, in that picture where you are walking holding the flashlight making figures, how come you don't look blury since you are a moving object and the camera is on a slow shutter speed? please help.

[JJtheJaxartosaurus]

he might of had the flash on, so when it flashed at the shutter was closing it got just him, and not the rest of him? i really dont know though, just a guess..

[acapmex1]

hmmm! that made sence!! but....... there must be something else I hope He posts another video with the answer!!!

[leocbrito]

Great video as always! Thank you a lot for your help ;)

[steveminla]

WOW! Really great tips Michael...thanks!!

[sabredash]

err where's the other guy? (michael?)

[MichaelTheMentor]

Yes

[DonPatcher]

Would this work for on Film?

[jsynnott]

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the great videos. I was considering buying a neutral density filter so that I could take long exposure shots of the sea during sunsets or even daytime. Is this the right way to go about it?

If you could do a video on flash snooting, that would be fantastic.

[randomratz]

Your photography videos are soo easy to follow and such a great help!!! Thanks for putting your time in to help us. :)

[Domwrstlr]

Excellent advice as always!

[Schneeerich]

i dont understand how he took the pic @3:00 min...

he moves alone the cam with his flashlight..but why is HE visable?

i´m germany..sry for my bad english !

[Havoc289]

Hi Michael

I don't understand why you don't look blurry on the exercise 3 - painting with light II. When you were walking and pointing at the camera with your flashlight, i thought there was only 2 possible outcomes. 1 either you only see the flashlight trail or 2. the flashlight trail and a ghost like figure of your body. Could you please explain why you don't look blurry as you were moving during a long exposure?

cheers

chris

[MichaelTheMentor]

I used a flash on the camera at the end on the exposure, its called Second Curtain Shutter Flash. I have a video coming on this. :)

[acapmex1]

i cant wait for it, ! that picture of you holding and walking wih the flashlight blew me away!! woww!!

[TylerVanderkooy]

@MichaelTheMentor Where is the video on that?

[morgantey]

Awsome tutorials always Mr mentor.

Many thx...

Keep them coming..

[HeyImChinese]

yay light painting!

[dsqraj]

As always, your videos are the best....I have not seen better tutorials from anyone else...Keep up your good work..Thanks for your time in sharing it with others

[wuharrharr]

wow this painting with light trick where you brighten up the girl is awesome. that technique is new for me. gotta try that.

but i dont get how you managed exercise 3 with the lightstripe. i assume you walked from right to left with the flashlifght pointed at your camera. but how did your body not got blurry there? i mean your body was moving while exposuring. pls reply

nice vid, thx for sharing your know how!

[fesch03]

yes please explain how you did it

[dsqraj]

I was about to ask the same question.. that shot was too nice..Please explain when you get time...Thanks in advance..

[ryman1]

He had the flash fire at the end of the exposure. That's how he's in the picture.

[wuharrharr]

do you might know how to set the shooting of the flash at the end of the exposure on my eos 450d / xsi

or is that impossible with this one? standard for my cam is the flashshot at the beginning of the exposure -.-

[MichaelTheMentor]

Its in your menu system, one of the yellow tabs, Flash Settings, Select Second Curtain Flash. I have a great DVD on the XSi called Canon Rebel XSi Crash Course, you can order it from my blog if you like, its well worth the $35. Best wishes! - M

[wuharrharr]

thank you so much michael. just came home and tried it. works great! will play with this settings in the next shooting.

thanks, best wishes!

[MichaelTheMentor]

Yes, I fired a flash at the end of the exposure. This is called Second Curtain Flash- I have a video coming on it soon. Thanks for the support!
