Do you want to know some photography tips I used to photograph the night time images below, click on our free training and we will send you a video that explains exactly how to take pictures like the ones below
I found this awesome old run-down dairy in Anna Bay the other day. I have been on the lookout for old buildings and structures in my area, that show some of the history of port stephens. I got permission from the owner to photograph his building.
Just to make things more interesting, I decided to photograph this old building at night, using a very long shutter speed (30 minutes) and using a torch to paint the building and trees and grass with light. The following images are my first attempts at light painting landscape photography. I like the star trails from the long shutter speed, notice how they go in different directions, first shot was photographed facing north, the next one was shot facing more easterly.
I have also included more light painting images from fishermans bay, I took a few days ago.
Do you think I should continue with this type of landscape photography, do you like it?
Would love some feedback. Brent

Brent, how did you manage to use 30-MINUTES (!) shutter speed? Is it possible to set on a digital SLR camera like Canon EOS 450D?
Hi Avdeeva, yes it is possible, all you need is an external shutter release cable, Put your camera to BULB mode and use the cable to hold down the shutter release button for 30 minutes or more, you can even program the device for longer if you need. Will make a video about this soon. Brent
