Light Painting a Desert Cabin: Single-Exposure Technique

Light painting with a single flashlight in a single frame is one of those techniques that looks harder than it is. The real skill isn't the gear, it's the walk-through pattern and knowing how moonlight interacts with your added light. If you've got a location shoot coming up that involves structures at dusk or night, this is worth twenty minutes of your time before you're standing in the dark wondering why your highlights are blown.
