Light painting - LICHTFAKTOR
Their tools
This is a small collection of flashlights, biking-lights and flashing LED lights they all work with batteries so that you are mobile you also get nice results with fireworks & torches .
there are 3 different type of lights we use:
xenon: makes a warm golden light.
LED: makes a thin precise line.
cold cathode: thick line.
but the best results you get by experimenting, use filters and things witch reflect light.
HOW TO DO IT.
this are the basics:
to get the best results you need a tripod. the exposure should be around 10-30 sec. or longer if needed. stay in front of the camera and do your writing.
to not overexpose set the camera to about iso100, and close your aperture as much as possible. if there is still too much light you might have to use a nd-filter.
it is always nice to integrate the surrounding into your picture.

Lichtfaktor
Lichtfaktor – a collective of like-minded VJs and graffiti artists based in Cologne, Germany – comprises the talents of $ehvermogen, JIAR and 10X (real names Marcel Panne, David Lupschen and Tim Fehske). The trio collaborated and developed the artform they refer to as “lightwriting” when Panne, a photographer and resident VJ of Drum & Bass label Basswerk, was commissioned to create a video projection for the Deutscher Arzte Verlag that visualised the theme Energy In Motion.
