One of the many genres of light painting and night photography is illumination. Instead of creating light trails, illumination involves adding artificial light to long exposure night scenes, or other dark locations. This tutorial article demystifies how to create these scenes.

Your pictures are superb 
I only have an iPhone 12 mini, Moment app, and some Sandmarc lenses, and seriously wished I’d taken my FireFlies 1800K mule with me when I went to Avebury. It could have worked some magic on that icy clear winter afternoon.

Avebury would be a great place to light paint, and accessible at night. I used to live near there a few decades ago before I got into photography.

You using the 2700K TS10 plus diffuser for your hidden warm lighting in your photographs?
Apologies if it’s obvious in your article, I started to look through on my phone Mini late last night and need a proper read.
I use four Convoy S21E, with 519A 2700K and 5700K LEDs with diffusers for my urbex photos.

These may solve my candle light dilemma, I hadn’t realised they run old Anduril. Such a shame I can’t run the S2+ on a short tube with diffuser, but alas, the old mode system only.
It is partly for photography, but mainly to avoid naked flame in my campervan. In its favour, the S21E has onboard charging, a game changer for van life.
Many thanks, sent a link of your article to the iPad so I can read it fully.
Regards,
Richard

I use the S21E with the Convoy UI. Better sustained brightness (out of the box) and easier to use than Anduril.
Ah ok. Candle flicker and sunset mode are both things I’ll find really handy in my intended usage.
For the price, I’ll grab one and see. The width of the 21700 is in its favour as a free standing candle.
