Light Painting Tools

There are many various lighting painting tools that can be used. The limit is your imagination! Below are just a couple light sources that I have used.

White PVC pipe (that I drilled a few holes into) connected to a flashlight with a rubber universal connector. You can see the pipe actually reflects an orange color when lit with a regular flashlight and the drill holes create white streaks.

Actual tool at work below. The additional star burst is simply turning on a quick flash of the flash light pointed towards the camera.

The light saber (or sword) with green handle gets connected with a flashlight and a rubber universal connector to make green light sword movements. This light saber tool was purchased from Light Painting Brushes and I highly recommend their tools to get started.

Image below is using a green light saber and orange light saber drawing a tulip then the sun streak on the side is using the white PVC pipe that I mentioned above.
