Light Painting Tips and Techniques: Un-Polishing an Apple, or How to Fix a Specular Highlight
This man is amazing! Perhaps NECCC can get him next year!

"This tutorial is about an interesting fix that we explored in the March Group Workshop on light painting.
When you light a shiny object, especially one that contains color or a pattern, the specular highlight that will occur is going to diminish the color and/or pattern or texture in that area. Some people refer to this as an area getting “blown out”. I’ve devised this method of getting rid of the problem, and it’s surprising how simple it is and how well it works. Take a look at this tutorial video to see how it’s done and give it a try yourself. This is the one of a series of tutorials that I’ve created involving my light painting process, and it is just a quick look at the kind of information that my students learn (although more in depth) at my workshops.
