How to start light painting

Light painting is a long-exposure photo: you open the shutter, then draw with light while it stays open. You need a camera that can hold the shutter open (a phone app works), a tripod, a dark spot and a bright light you can shape.

  1. Pick one light

    The tubes, blades and brushes here twist onto the RGB Critter BT Light Engine, so one app-controlled light runs them all, in any of 16.7 million colors.

  2. Add a shape

    Tubes draw clean ribbons of color, blades draw crisp shapes, fiber optic dusters leave soft glowing trails and the Orb draws perfect spheres.

  3. Shoot in the dark

    Start at Manual, 20 seconds, ISO 200, f/8, with focus set by hand. Open the shutter, step into the frame and draw.

Not sure where to start? The Beginners kit puts the RGB Critter BT and the core tools in one box.
