Painting With Light

As you may or may not know, IQ’s Kip Beelman has been SERIOUSLY bitten by the photography bug. One of the blogs he frequents to hone his skills had an interesting post today that he’d like to share. Granted, it has nothing to do with the world of radio jingles, but about 85% of Kip’s life doesn’t either (See this post about the diversity of the people at IQ Beats).

How does something like this get put together? David Hobby, the generous and wicked-smart Baltimore Sun photojournalist behind the Holy Grail of photography lighting blogs called Strobist.com, surmised:

I find myself wondering how they pull this off. The consistency between frames is just amazing. Then it occurred to me that they probably shoot a frame, then shoot the next frame and chimp back and forth between the two. If it flows well, they move on to the next frame. If it doesn’t, they delete the current frame and re-do it.

If you’re ever in the mood to have your whole focus in life altered by stumbling across a blogpost about a DIY $10 Macro Studio, spend some time at Strobist.com and learn how easy it is to start making dynamic images.
