Secret to success: a good starting point

The key of getting amazing results is to spend time on creating a good composition. I say creating because good compositions aren't found, you really have to build up the whole scenery. That's why a big part of the tutorial is dedicated to building up a great composition. Get it right while shooting! What do you prefer? Going out to take pictures or spending time inside to process them. I know what I choose!

Seeing the whole picture

Composition is key

Composition is key in getting good results. You don’t want to waste your time on an inferior image. Many of the techniques explained in this section can be used in other types of photography. While others are very specific for our mushroom light paintings. 

The final touch: Light Painting

Before we start light painting we already have created a beautiful image. But when we let the night set in and ad the glowing mushroom caps the real magic happens. Now the images really shine! Are you ready to take this step and create a world of fairies?

It’s decision time…
