  • wannaBdug, on 07/15/2009, -4/+30Wow these are electric. Very cool
  • Corbinwaltz, on 07/16/2009, -0/+18Couldn't we just call this light art? When I hear light graffiti, I think of this http://ankensean.co.uk/pics/small_graffiti.JPG
  • burningrobot, on 07/16/2009, -1/+15These are actually really good compared to most light graffiti I've seen. I'd just like to see them shoot it with film, and develop in the darkroom.
  • TheSexyBeast821, on 07/16/2009, -0/+12They would look exactly the same as in the "high" times of the 2000s.
  • senorboombino, on 07/16/2009, -4/+14Imagine what these would look like during the "high" times of the 1960s. Great googly moogly!
  • 2Pharcyded, on 07/16/2009, -1/+10this is real art, to me anyways. something well thought out (im assuming who knows) and visually striking that actually stirs something within me.

    not something like this.. http://becomingminimalist.files.wordpress.com/2008 ...

    or this http://whiteline1.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/mill ...

    obviously ive just shown some minimalist art. but most paintings these days are going to abstract, random, nonsensical bland color-pictures
  • HeaveN, on 07/16/2009, -0/+7good jorb
  • xcpleprechaun, on 07/16/2009, -0/+6Set your camera up so that it's perfectly still and do a long exposure in a dark area (something like 30 seconds or longer). Take some light emitting objects (glow stick on a string, flashlight, LEDs, etc.) and run around in front of the camera while it's taking the picture. It also works well if you take a long exposure of someone standing still and people running around you with the lights.

    Another neat effect is to do a long exposure of something while rapidly shining a flashlight all over it. It makes almost anything look haunted!
  • DeskFlyer, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5Having lots of spare time helps too.
  • latinjones, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5Seriously? Have you not heard of OLED photon suspension? I thought all the new phones had that...
  • latinjones, on 07/16/2009, -1/+6How about a few more examples of glowing squiggly spheres? Maybe they could do one underneath a weeping willow tree? Seriously, a couple of these are really awesome. Like the baseball one...
  • inexion, on 07/16/2009, -1/+5no where near as cool as:

  • inactive, on 07/16/2009, -2/+5Dugg for using the singular form of grafitti.
  • plaeground, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3i just got back from AllGood and took a lot of nice LED HulaHoop light painting pictures...

  • Sideshowslob, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3How do they do that?
  • dwats32, on 07/16/2009, -1/+4cool story bro
  • JoshDelvin, on 07/16/2009, -3/+6Wow, so sweet
  • bazzarr, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Looks like they were inspired by UFO abduction stories. Out in the woods at night, on the middle of a desolate road, stone cairns etc.
  • leland1, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Images of the glowing orbs & multi-armed beings remind me of the inter-dimensional transporter that Terminators use to enter the world.

    These are obviously photos of alien beings colonizing the Earth in preparation for the apocalyptic Zombie invasion. Enjoy the images, then run for your lives! :-)
  • lilmentor3, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2almost caught a seizure looking at that.
  • phoenixm4, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2This is some very awesome stuff.
  • keyvoh, on 07/16/2009, -2/+4Great googly moogly indeed!
  • jarjarwang, on 07/16/2009, -3/+5Call me old fashioned, but I prefer a good graffito by Raphael.
  • nathan42100, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2HOLY CRAP!

    Combine energy balls ARE real!!!
  • hazard99, on 07/16/2009, -2/+4hax
  • WonderBoy55, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Reminds me of Earthbound.
  • mallchin, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Wow, impressive! I like lightwriting too, here is mine:

  • root06, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2All I see are 35 boxes that say "Image selected for Amazing Light Paintings". Can we have a mirror please?
  • Hellahulla, on 07/16/2009, -1/+3Hmmm, virii and boxen are both incorrect plurals. Graffito is the correct singular.
  • DirtPile, on 07/16/2009, -2/+4Why would anyone ***** awesome?
  • ArtosRC, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2These are beautiful. Great find.
  • meleemaster500, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1click the X on the diggbar
  • TrueEyes, on 07/17/2009, -0/+1I don't understand what it has to do with graffiti..
    Still looks great though:)
  • bearcat8543, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFWcAkxzkv4&eur ...
  • hereisjohnny, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Get in line, buddy.
  • bminton3, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Those orbs remind me of the hint or landmark bonuses from Prototype.
  • parkermauney, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1At least you tried.
  • viciousonfilm, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1I fool around with that aspect of photography..a bit. http://www.flickr.com/photos/viciousonfilm/3655412 ...
  • burningrobot, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Well, as an art form, I find that photos in which the photographer has taken the time to take the shots, develop the film, print etc. have a lot more substance than digital snapshots. Not to knock digital photography though. Digital's great because it lets you take the shots and see right then how they turned out, plus you can take thousands of pictures without dealing with film.

    Here's a pic I did about a year ago..

  • dodger2020, on 07/16/2009, -3/+2And I bet you're one of the ones that use words like virii or boxen..
  • repubocrat, on 07/16/2009, -6/+5Reminds me of a Tool show
  • danreeves, on 07/16/2009, -4/+3I went to an art gallery once that had a bunch of photos like these except it was in desert settings. These kind of photos are pretty awesome.
  • 08STI, on 07/16/2009, -2/+0Yay for cliche.
