I can easily go through the scene a number of times to make sure I haven\u2019t forgotten to light paint any part of it. And a moderately powerful LED light is good enough to do the job. Note that I never light paint the whole scene in one go, but only one part at a time and put together all of the shots in Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>I really want to hone my technique and push myself to do more and more challenging light paintings.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger the scene to light paint, the harder it gets. One of the main difficulties in light painting a large scene is to remember which part of the scene one has already light painted. It thus pays to develop a systematic approach.<\/p>\n<p>For the scene below, not only did I used a more powerful light than in my people light paintings, but I had to figure out which path I would take in order to light paint the whole scene.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_924\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-924\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-924\" src=\"http:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Light-Painting-Trees-Edinburgh-Philippe-Monthoux-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Light painting of trees\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Light-Painting-Trees-Edinburgh-Philippe-Monthoux.jpg 800w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Light-Painting-Trees-Edinburgh-Philippe-Monthoux-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philippemonthoux.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Light-Painting-Trees-Edinburgh-Philippe-Monthoux-624x417.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-924\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There is a wooded area pretty close to where I live.
