Light painting is a fascinating technique that’s evolved over the last few years from the humble flashlight into an elaborate array of tools, gadgets, gizmos, and even apps, with ever more wild and creative results being produced on a daily basis.

In this video, Jason D. Page shows us how to use the new Plexiglass feather attachment from Light Painting Brushes in order to create wings during a long exposure.

While the image made in the video is relatively simple compared to some of the examples on the Light Painting Brushes website, it does a great job of showing how the technique works and how effective it can be with a little patience and practise.

The Plexiglass attachments certainly offer an interesting twist on light painting, and while you can certainly have your own designs cut out by any number of online services, the folks at Light Painting Brushes have already created a few to get you started, which the new feather attachment now joins.
