              Great Photos Taken With A Long Exposure And Sparklers

              Von Wong, a photographer who has been featured on Fstoppers many times already, has created yet another great BTSV. In this edition Von Wong uses a long exposure and some sparklers to create some really killer images. We have all probably taken long exposures of sparklers but with a little creativity, you can create a real portfolio piece with anything.

                Wasn’t this video posted before? I definitely saw it before and I’m pretty sure I saw it on this website.. this is awkward :)

                Even if you had posted it before, it’s still worth another look.  You guys have the awesomest (is that a word?lol) content!!

                OK, so what happens when you do that?

                I have been doing this for years.
                But I need to know the answer.
                Extended Exposure shots work great, but the background where the actor was shows up on the actors skin. (of course) i normally try not to expose behind them at all.
                He did, no background. How in the?

                Ouu thanks for the post, I didn’t even know I was featured!

                I had to do some photoshop cleaning on some brighter parts where the exposures overlapped :) 

              • Anonymous

                Actually, there were only two shots that I actually thought were good enough to bother editing with. When I shoot for portfolio purposes, there’s not really any reason to edit those that are mediocre :)

                Actually it was featured on diyphotography – I’ve searched it like a maniac all over the place. 
                My bad guys – sorry for my wrong assumption. You are doing a great job here on fstoppers – love it, great source of inspiration, appreciate it a lot!! :)
