We have published some articles about Light Painting, and in this post we will share some basic information about this technique. We will talk about the tools, the camera settings, the light and the technique. Also, we want to say thank you very much to Christopher Hibbert, the author of this article.
Light painting, also known as light drawing is a photographic technique in which exposures are made usually at night or in a darkened room by moving a light source or by moving the camera.
The wallpaper of this week is an image I created for a tutorial that will be published in the upcoming Abduzeedo book. It's a simple light effect playing with some photos, text and blend modes in Photoshop.
For more information about the Abduzeedo book just stay tuned here on the blog :)

The book suggestion of the week is one of my favorites, it's called Typology: Type Design From Victorian Era to the Digital Age and it covers a lot of art history always linking with types and typography. It's a must read for those starting out their careers or even willing to dust off their typology and typography skills.
