Thank you for this awesome idea. After watching the video it took me 3 minutes to get set up and do it myself. Results were absolutely psychedelically amazing in a dark room, ISO 100, 15'' at f/11 . Try it, it is so much fun!
Bulb mode is when you can set the shutter exposure time for as long as you want. Canon's usually require you to hold the shutter while other cameras let you click twice.
Another technique for dropping water on the disc. You can take out the sprayer/straw of a windex type bottle and fill it with water. It slowly drops out, you can slowly spray if you're careful. I had to get creative without my water dropper thingy
@sapphirefiredragon to isolate the cd, place it up on a pedestal to provide some separation between the CD and the black background. This way when you use a light from the side the background will be easier to keep dark.
Thank you so much for the tutorial, I'm doing this right now and loving the results. I don't have a dslr, but my camera does have a setting that allows me to achieve this effect. I'm so glad I finally decided to try this out!
You set your exposure time to whatever you want, and then press the shutter release button. It will start the long exposure, and you will hear the shutter disengage when it finishes.
Nice! If you have an Olympus OMD camera, its "Live Bulb" Mode makes this easy as it builds the image and shows progress on the screen. When done, close the shutter :)
Try this: put the CD in some kind of a player that makes a CD visible on the top, spin it and put a laser beam on the top. Experiment with aperture and exposure, enjoy :D
I love your videos! You're so awesome And creative! Does the Effects and treks in your videos will work on a camera that is't a DSLR but das have full manual control Such as my camera: fuji hs30 exr? Thanks
Hi, I don't know if this has been asked already, but am I supposed to press shoot before I go ahead with the light painting? I know this is a really stupid question but I really need to know. Thank you so much!
I was wondering what camera you have. I have the D7000 and one thing that I wish it did that yours does is show the exposure + ------|------ - on the top LCD screen! it frustrates me that it does not do this and yours does :(
Great video, I took your idea and added a little more with light painting, I'd like to give you a shout out on my blog, is there anyway I can contact you?
Great tutorial! However... 5 hours of following your steps exactly with a 5d mkii and L series lenses and my results were terrible!! Tried all settings, with and without nd filter and just completely black or mess of blurry colours.... very depressing :( thanks anyway.. yours are amazing! Sigh...
It's 3h25am here right now and I think I'm not gonna sleep until I have watched every single video on this channel !
Just tried this technique. Wow! I had some amazing results. Thanks again for all your great videos.
very nice trick. I also saw your water-trick tutorial. These photos come out like they're some computerised products. Amazingly beautiful man

that flashlight was soo cool, i mean you can adjust the beam and take the cap off.. like any other flashlight

Hey Just ordered a D5100..cant wait to try all these tricks out...you make them all look pretty simple...

Dude, i can't stop viewing your videos, here its over 11PM i just want to sleep...
Thanks for showing how you got the pictures! Great video! I will have to try it with some different lenses and lights.
Thanks for the tips. Fun as an indoor wet weather program. Using the Canon 5D Mk 2 + 100L macro lens.
Try this: put the CD in some kind of a player that makes a CD visible on the top, spin it and put a laser beam on the top. Experiment with aperture and exposure, enjoy :D
you are such a talent and i thank you for sharing your ideas and techniques...I am so trying this one this weekend!! Thank you again!!
In case you don't know, the lens on a Mag-Lite can be replaced with a gel cut into a circle.
canon has bulb mode, shoot in manual and change the aperture by scrolling all the way to the left until you hit bulb mode
I tried this and I got some great looking shots, thanks for the video!
These look like crazy irises from an eye. :)
I have a t3i cannon but i feel like I could never be smart enough to do the stuff you do !
@hediedforme89 go to manual mode and spin the wheel in front of the shutter to the left. BULB should appear after the 30s setting.
those Manfrotto tripods are $224 to 450 for the one you have. im jelous, you are VERY CREATIVE!!!
This guy is awesome! Can't wait to get my camera in 4 days!
Some great ideas mate. GreT video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

I'm going to try sth like it :) thank yoy
WOw thanks. I'm gonna have to experiment with a few of your tricks when I get a worth-while camera. lol
You should do on light painting but like in out doors
(with flash lights not sparklers)
