Light Painting in Nelson Ghost Town

In this video, I share how I approached light painting in the Nelson Ghost Town in Nevada. There are two images where I discuss my approach.

In the first image, I capture everything in one exposure. I shoot the scene twice. The first time all of the lighting is from a flashlight. The second time makes use of both a flashlight and an LED panel.

For the second image, I capture two separate images and combine them in Photoshop.

I finish with a slide show of some of my favorite photos taken over a 3 night period. If you would like to just see the slide show, skip ahead to the 14 minute mark.

I had access to the grounds at night thanks to Cape Night Photography. They were running a workshop that I had signed up to attend. They did an amazing job. If you would like to know more about their workshops, you can find them at: https://capenightphotography.smugmug.com/Workshops/n-rsQt3b
