I’ve put together a new video on how I use tech to create images like this.. It’s a tutorial that should give you all the knowledge and know-how to do the same.
Check it out on YouTube.. link to follow..
Light Painting – New video tutorial..
Wow – 2018 already.. I have been quiet here.. but busy – LIGHTPAINTING
Well it’s a new year and I have a new resolution.. push out some good quality Video’s to help grow YouTube and then get this blog kept up to date.
These things take time and I guess just like you find.. it’s an increasingly rare commodity !
I have, however, been pretty busy with some new experiments.. this time in light painting..
The first was done using a torch with half a pingpong ball attached to the top to give a glow that’s visible from many angles.. btw – the message is aimed at you all 🙂
This was a 10 second exposure with the colour balance pushed right up.. light source was an iphone 6 flashlight being moved around quickly.. has a Terminator 2 feel to it.
This last one was shot on a Samsung S8 using pro mode and again 10 seconds..
The sparks came from me spinning some wirewool inside a metal whisk on a chain.. I lit the wirewool with a PP3 battery.. a lighter works equally well.
I will shortly post a how-to video on YouTube with some more great examples.
Happy new year !
Merry Christmas 2016
A very Merry Christmas to all of our viewers, readers, and friends.
We hope 2017 brings you good health and happiness.

The 360 degree video support and layer blend modes in PowerDirector 15 sound just the ticket.. been waiting for the blend modes for years !! a feature I have always loved in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Look forward to getting my upgrade soon..
Litchi – Control your Phantom 3 like a pro
If you have a DJI Phantom drone then this is a must have App.. It’s available for IOS and Android with the advantage of working with a broad range of devices.
I’ve successfully had it driving the phantom from both a Galaxy Note 4 and an iPad mini 2.. all glitch free.
More coming soon on drones !!!
Check back soon..
JJRC H5C Quadcopter Drone – Amazing !!
JJRC H5C Drone first outdoor dusk flight. Fantastic cheap drone with HD Camera
This is the first flight outdoors with my new JJRC H5C quad copter drone. It comes equipped with a 720P HD camera and a 2GB SD card all for £36 inc from ebay.
The only additional thing you need to get is 6 AA batteries for the handset.
I filmed the flight with a GoPro Hero 3+ on a head mount.. sorry about the alignment but I had no visual feedback to see what was in shot..
BTW I edited this on the wonderful (and cheap) Serif MoviePlus X6… you can often pick this up for less than a tenner and it’s very zippy.
I’ll post some links to things shortly..
