Painting with light - new ways...

I have my first brand new digital camera - rather scaring...
BUT this (Olympus) has a new feature, not seen before.

It allows me to paint with light in multiple exposures without motives been transparent - if an area of the file is lit, then it does not allow extra light...

So the motives tends to blend in more - like a relief.

It is fascinating - I can get almost total control over my PWL images, and at the same time get images no analog camera can give me...

I then print the image out on best possible paper - re-photograph this image on mf or LF film, and THEN I go to the darkroom to play....

Here are four images made with that feature... I'll show my final results later...

"It allows me to paint with light in multiple exposures without motives been transparent - if an area of the file is lit, then it does not allow extra light... So the motives tends to blend in more - like a relief"

Very interesting, could you be a bit more detailed on how you shoot the images?
thanks

of course - these first three images only have two models in them - they chose a pose - then I painted them... then they chose another pose (without me seeing it) - I painted again - and again...

These came up

here is a little still life I made - the face is just a cover of a book - painted it - removed it and continued to paint... :)

Found an image of image two above, taken with a "normal" digital camera...

You see the difference? arms and legs all over..

Outstanding!

a rather cheap one: Olympus E-m10 MARK II

(most new Olympus om models have that feature - called Live Composite - addicting I think)

Now you have a perfect tool for measuring LF lightpaintings :-)
The lady in red-picture: what kind of background is this; real stuff, or lightpainted stuff?
Thanks,
