Light orb images

Dan Mold shows you how to add mysterious orbs of light to your landscapes with this fun and fascinating light painting technique

Have you ever seen one of these light orb photos before and thought to yourself ‘How is that pulled off?’ Well, in this project we show exactly how!

The first time I saw a light orb photo, I thought it was a camera trick created entirely in post-production. It is, however, a light painting technique, where spinning a torch around carefully in a circular loop, and then moving from side to side to creates the 3D spherical shape.
