- aukxsona, on 02/23/2008, -7/+7Awe can I haz a BF that does this?
- edwartica, on 02/23/2008, -2/+14Ummm, this is digg. Do you really want to admit you don't have a bf here? Lots of lonely, horny, single, nerdy guys. :)
Just a little friendly advice from a lonely, horny, single, nerdy guy. :P- capiCrimm, on 02/23/2008, -2/+16he's only warning you so he can get in your pants, the bastard. Now if you choose me...
- edwartica, on 02/23/2008, -2/+12Nah, I gave up on trying to get into anyone's pants. sigh.
- NOFXY, on 02/23/2008, -0/+24the pity card. this guy's good!
- xXIrsotehkewlXx, on 02/23/2008, -1/+9I want to sign up for single nerdy guy attention.
^_^
Geeks are hot
*sigh* - ItsShundi, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2...you get herpes?
- muzzle, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1herpes! yum!
- Feedback, on 02/23/2008, -0/+10I can fix your computer!
- edwartica, on 02/23/2008, -0/+5Oh, and if I were really trying to play the pitty card, I would mention that my girlfriend broke up with me a couple months back and life has been totally miserable since then. But that's only if I were to play the pitty card. :P
- urbandistrict, on 02/23/2008, -0/+4Power Tip: Girls like when you pay attention to them. Be it via poorly crafted long exposure photgraphy, or digg replys.
- capiCrimm, on 02/23/2008, -2/+16he's only warning you so he can get in your pants, the bastard. Now if you choose me...
- Synapse84, on 02/23/2008, -3/+5me love you long time! :P
- buddyfarr, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1you forgot "$2, G.I...."
- samgab, on 02/23/2008, -0/+3aukxsona, you look like you're only about 8 years old. Precocious yes, but it explains your poor spelling. Bit early to be looking for a nerdy boyfriend, kid.
- aukxsona, on 02/29/2008, -0/+1That was done on purpose, it's LOLCAT. Your on Digg and you don't know that? Either that or you forgot your sarcasm tags.
- edwartica, on 02/23/2008, -2/+14Ummm, this is digg. Do you really want to admit you don't have a bf here? Lots of lonely, horny, single, nerdy guys. :)

- Bo0st510, on 02/23/2008, -12/+436I made one...but for some reason it spelled out ***** me...
- Niglix, on 02/23/2008, -19/+5I get that problem a lot. In fact, it seems to pop up on everything I write to my girlfriend...
- cl2yp71c, on 02/23/2008, -3/+12Damn subconscience!
- AuburnTigers, on 02/23/2008, -2/+8It's actually not that hard to do this. Just mess with the camera's settings and change the exposure time. Then make sure it's dark, and use an iPod or cell phone to make the flashy thing.
Or you could just, yknow, photoshop it.- samgab, on 02/23/2008, -2/+2Wow, really, so you just "mess with the camera's settings" and it happens? Cool.
- rspeed, on 02/24/2008, -1/+1I don't think that's what this guy did. This would have to be multiple long exposures.
- KingGorilla, on 02/23/2008, -0/+8The cloud looks like an alligator
- melonade, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2Would that qualify as a Freudian slip?
- jazzboyrules, on 02/24/2008, -0/+1Pic or it didn't happen.

- isntreal, on 02/23/2008, -21/+16god i hate lolcats
- Drood, on 02/23/2008, -3/+9Right now in my relationship, having my head actually explode would be a step UP.
- lawngnomes4pres, on 02/23/2008, -0/+5im trying to figure out what this has to do with the article...
- Dylson, on 02/23/2008, -0/+4It has everything to do with everything. It's like the number 42.

- melonade, on 02/23/2008, -3/+3Do it better
- AuburnTigers, on 02/23/2008, -12/+3This guy sucks, he totally ***** up the I.
- Dradis, on 02/23/2008, -9/+342With all those clones it's going to be one hell of a gang-bang.
- Omano, on 02/23/2008, -4/+11In bad taste man. Like below, dude is totally getting laid for that.

- abcdefghijkkk, on 02/23/2008, -5/+253That guy is totally getting laid.
- squishee, on 02/23/2008, -2/+66...by a raver high on E.
- greenlight2001, on 02/23/2008, -3/+11I read that as 'reaver'... and I tried desperately to find the Firefly connection.
- Drood, on 02/23/2008, -1/+64I love the way folk assume this is some guy to his girlfriend and not, say, some psychotic ***** stalker who is currently under a restraining order and is planning on spelling out his next message in the chicks entrails.
- NOFXY, on 02/23/2008, -0/+9i was just thinking the same thing. minus the entrails part...
- xt0ph3r, on 02/23/2008, -0/+14Occam's Razor, perhaps?
- ChromaVita, on 02/23/2008, -0/+6which he will use to cut out the girls entrails.
- melonade, on 02/23/2008, -3/+12Maybe he did it for his mother's birthday?
- ChromaVita, on 02/23/2008, -0/+17Maybe he did it for your mother's birthday?

- Tamriel, on 02/23/2008, -5/+48Speak for yourself.
- ligyron, on 02/23/2008, -7/+31That joke's getting old, and more inaccurate every day
- Drood, on 02/23/2008, -6/+13Man, I wish I was single still:(
- tendonut, on 02/23/2008, -2/+5Me too man, me too....
- BlueSkyfish, on 02/23/2008, -1/+9I know a great way to fix your problem. It involves alcohol. Lots of it.
- doctorfungi, on 02/23/2008, -0/+19OH HAR HAR HAR! I didn't see that one coming!...
- N1NTENDOnerd, on 02/23/2008, -1/+9Looks like someone accidentally revealed too much about themselves.
- nmnnotmyname, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Hey, that was my idea...
- DarkSamus, on 02/23/2008, -53/+8no need when you're already ***** her ass
- dumpyhumpy, on 02/23/2008, -0/+53DarkSamus pulls through again with clever, well thought-out, insightful commentary.
- TecK415, on 02/23/2008, -0/+18I doubt you have a girlfriend. If you do, it wont last long.
- plup, on 02/23/2008, -2/+0Wait, so you don't do that flashy move when you're having anal.. Oh ***** man.. :(
- Mongo61, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1He shoulda spelled "Please Swallow"
- ubergeek09, on 02/23/2008, -34/+9Digg users? Girlfriends? Is this guy joking? /obvious sarcasm
- greenblob, on 02/23/2008, -2/+22Is it legal to apply sarcasm on "/sarcasm" tags?
- EpicSelekta, on 02/23/2008, -0/+6is it legal to comment on the legality of a digg comment?
crap I think I just decided that one- discodeathopera, on 02/23/2008, -2/+1this is why digg users don't have girlfriends...
- Flayum, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2This is why you don't have a girlfriend.
- EpicSelekta, on 02/23/2008, -0/+6is it legal to comment on the legality of a digg comment?
- greenblob, on 02/23/2008, -2/+22Is it legal to apply sarcasm on "/sarcasm" tags?
- koach, on 02/23/2008, -7/+237That dude is fast!
- GhostSniper, on 02/23/2008, -25/+5He probably took multiple pictures (one for each letter) and then overlayed them. Notice how there is no motion blur that shows him moving from one letter to the next?
- Nuggstein, on 02/23/2008, -0/+55Really? I would've never figured that out. I thought he was Jumper.
- Eibx, on 02/23/2008, -12/+2Actually it's the Shutter Time function on the camera which makes this effect, normally cameras can go as low as 15seconds, some 30seconds.
If you want to see more Search for "Light Graffiti" on google.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/lichtfaktor/show/ - Or click this link. - MeatyDoughnut, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1It's both.
- Infekted, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1@ Eibx
LoL. Shutter Time function? you mean Long exposure shots?
its the only way to take this kind of pic. how else would you take it.
They were talking about how there was multiple picture of the guy and how there was no motion blur.
it has nothing to do with the long exposure shots.
- Eibx, on 02/23/2008, -12/+2Actually it's the Shutter Time function on the camera which makes this effect, normally cameras can go as low as 15seconds, some 30seconds.
- kenyan, on 02/23/2008, -1/+4*WHOOSH*
- Nuggstein, on 02/23/2008, -0/+55Really? I would've never figured that out. I thought he was Jumper.
- zer0, on 02/23/2008, -0/+21but that can't work out too well for his girlfriend.
- GhostSniper, on 02/23/2008, -25/+5He probably took multiple pictures (one for each letter) and then overlayed them. Notice how there is no motion blur that shows him moving from one letter to the next?
- minnymoo, on 02/23/2008, -36/+6if doing this makes your girlfriend happy, you're whipped.
- DrunkenSavior, on 02/23/2008, -3/+28Do you even know what a girlfriend is?
- AzureRise, on 02/23/2008, -1/+15I don't think he knows what a girl is.
- minnymoo, on 02/23/2008, -11/+4i'm a girl myself, and it doesn't seem necessary for a guy to do such things for me.
- DarkSamus, on 02/23/2008, -9/+4how does it feel to pwn those two right there?
- daEvan, on 02/23/2008, -1/+6nobody loves you then?
- drakenlot, on 02/23/2008, -0/+14Holy crap, a chick is actually getting buried...
- Infekted, on 02/23/2008, -3/+2i had to agree with her tho.
this is like making a rose out of a napkin... lame and old.
its nice at first... but it gets old.
im not sure why theres a lot of good comment that gets buried.
the first 2 replies are the best. it take one click to find out the gender of the original message they were trying to reply.
yet they can't do it and make stupid reply... what i can't believe was somebody actually diggs them. LoL.
oh watch this reply gets buried.
- minnymoo, on 02/23/2008, -11/+4i'm a girl myself, and it doesn't seem necessary for a guy to do such things for me.
- AzureRise, on 02/23/2008, -1/+15I don't think he knows what a girl is.
- EpicSelekta, on 02/23/2008, -0/+9This would make any lady happy. Although it shouldn't be the minimum expectation.
- DrunkenSavior, on 02/23/2008, -3/+28Do you even know what a girlfriend is?
- OpenFuture, on 02/23/2008, -23/+240But we don't have girlfriends...

- UltramegaOK, on 02/23/2008, -22/+11If his male friends get a hold of this picture he will NEVER live it down.......
But at least he got laid.- purple8, on 02/23/2008, -1/+11For sure he got laid. That is really cute.
- TecK415, on 02/23/2008, -0/+13Um, why? Is saying you love your girlfriend a bad thing? since when?
- DarkSamus, on 02/23/2008, -8/+1since ever

- Infekted, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2You dont get the point do you?

- Drood, on 02/23/2008, -3/+1"at least he got laid"

- plup, on 02/23/2008, -0/+0Hmm.. You mean, surprise sex? Perhaps?
- laurohsaurusrex, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1or both?
- Tenlow, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1Actually (at least with everyone I know) incredibly sappy ***** gets a pass because everyone does the same ***** at some point.
- otis12, on 02/23/2008, -17/+10I would give my girlfriend the world :)
- Drood, on 02/23/2008, -2/+10Like any of the greedy bitches, she's ***** take it then expect more.
- purple8, on 02/23/2008, -0/+0Keep up the good work, then.
- shawnanigans, on 02/23/2008, -1/+8I would give my world for a girlfriend, or at least a continent for a hand job.

- universalpants, on 02/23/2008, -2/+3not really. thats a pretty common technique you learn in intro to photo. My friends did one that outlined my body with light.
- Infekted, on 02/23/2008, -0/+3yeah... 100 yrs ago.

- NyteStarNyne, on 02/23/2008, -0/+10It's an upgrade of your palms/pillow/goat but with two nasty side effects. 1) There's a cooldown time of 7-8 days a month and 2) It speaks.... alot.
- phazon88, on 02/23/2008, -0/+11I'll stick to my goat thanks.
- GhengisKhan, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2Something that most diggers only dream of. Cut your toenails fellas and you might have a chance.

- banankrem, on 02/23/2008, -2/+1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girlfriend
Girlfriend is a term that can refer to either a female partner in a non-marital romantic relationship or a female non-intimate friend. - tgc1, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Something that systematically tries to own you.
- TheSnuffster, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Teh Pwnerer = Girlfriend?
- likwidfuzion, on 02/23/2008, -18/+7Digg user + girlfriend
Are you kidding me?- chobitsbunny, on 02/23/2008, -1/+4So you're saying I'm a figment of his imagination?
- Prometheus, on 02/23/2008, -14/+9So I read the angry commenters describing the phenomenon of a Reddit story appearing on digg the next day. Not a regular reader of Reddit, I went there yesterday and peeked around. I only looked at two stories, but this was one of them. What the hell, should I just go to Reddit from now on or what?
- lgc90, on 02/23/2008, -0/+5yes? I just subscribe to both RSS feeds.
- fizasist, on 02/23/2008, -1/+0OMG I love your Icon prometheus.
Are you a knight of the lambda calculus as I am?- itsradBrad, on 02/23/2008, -2/+2OMGZ there are such things as "Shouts"!!! :/
- Jimgress, on 02/23/2008, -2/+7The first time I saw this type of thing I thought it was neat. Now I'm getting sick of everyone doing the same ***** thing.
- she7213, on 02/23/2008, -4/+30Can anyone explain how he did it? Other than the Delorean with the flux capacitor of course.
- thesonofdarwin, on 02/23/2008, -0/+50Multiple long exposures (5-15s). Set the timer on his camera, had a remote, or a friend open the shutter and then he moved a light source through the air as the shutter remained open. Could be anything bright, but it looks like a PDA or cell. Then, merging the photos in photoshop is easy as long as the exposures were kept consistent. The camera sensor will image any light that goes through the lens while it's open, so you can do some really cool things with light photography. Read up on Light Painting for more info.
- heynoop, on 02/23/2008, -0/+7you actually don't need a remote (though it is easier with one), and we all know digg users don't have real friends. you can set the timer shutter thing where it counts down, press the shutter, then run into the frame
- theRIAA, on 02/23/2008, -2/+1more like 30s shutter with 10s countdown
- meesho, on 02/23/2008, -1/+3if it were a 30 second shutter speed, the picture would be way over exposed or it would have to have an extremely small aperture.. which it doesn't because only the near depth of field is in focus and not the mid or foreground. id have to agree with darwin's 5-15 second estimate.
- theRIAA, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2the entire picture isn't very sharp. do you know how hard it is to draw out letters with an LED light? this would take more than 15 seconds. maybe he combined pictures, but I doubt it.
- Wyattx17, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1He could have had a very small aperture on a telephoto lens and he would have not had everything in focus. Here is a DOF calculator http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html for you to understand.
- theRIAA, on 02/24/2008, -0/+1maybe he put a filter on?

- jmbrysk, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2Is it possible to set long exposures on your standard point and shoot cameras? Or do you need a high end cam for that?
- NOFXY, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2i had an old camera (got it about 2-3 years ago) where you could change the exposure to like 3 seconds, which might not seem like enough but if you're fast enough you can do it. so i'm sure most cameras are at least that "good"
- Larz0rz, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2My digital camera can. You can't control it, but it has a preset called "Fireworks" that keeps it open for about 5 seconds or so. So if you can't find anything about shutter speed settings on your camera, take a look at the presets.
- meesho, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2if you're talking about a digital camera, look at the top dial. Look for modes such as "Tv" for shutter speed priority or "M" for fully manual to set the shutter speed. I would recommend using Manual if possible. When taking the picture, make sure you account for the light (using a light meter, most digitals have them built in) and the color balence (tungsten or flourescent for indoors, daylight for outdoors) To achieve proper exposure, set your shutter speed to desired time and adjust the aperture until the light meter reads in the middle at 0. You can also change the ISO on digital (higher the ISO, the lighter the picture becomes) but remember a higher ISO will result in grainier images. And last but not least, make sure you use a tripod or some sort of propping device when taking a long-exposure shot, otherwise camera shake will cause a blurry image.
- Infekted, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1most of the digicam now can do it. as long as you have a manual mode for it. my 4 yr old digi cam can do it.

- darny, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2It's not as complicated as anyone is making it out to be. No layering needed at all. Just set the shutter to 30s and on a timer and viola. The darker it is when you do it the less likely the photo is to be over exposed. To the guy saying the aperture couodn't have been small due to the focus...the whole image is basically out of focus. I'm thinking he was at f/11.
- ArcOrion, on 02/23/2008, -0/+7Sure, you slingshot around the sun, pick up enough speed until you're in time warp.

- cl2yp71c, on 02/23/2008, -3/+4Think it's possible with a 15 second shutter?

- cl2yp71c, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1weak sauce!!
- samgab, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1With most 35mm SLRs you can take consecutive photos without moving the film along. You have to remember to underexpose each photo, or else the resultant photo ends up hopelessly overexposed, but other than that it's not too tricky. I'd say crouching in the right spots would be the difficult bit.
- jazzboyrules, on 02/24/2008, -0/+1You need to experiment with aperture and shutter till you get the perfect combo. It's not just the shutter speed that matters.

- pptmtz, on 02/23/2008, -4/+5how is it done?
- floatingfish, on 02/23/2008, -0/+6If you use a high aperture (your camera might say AV), and a long shutter speed, you can spell this out. I'm not sure if many modern cameras have these functions anymore, but some better quality ones will.
- jackieshmackie, on 02/23/2008, -2/+4aperture science.. we do what we must, because we can.
- meesho, on 02/23/2008, -1/+0what do you mean by high aperture? high in number or large in size?
this picture was taken with a low number aperture.. possibly 4 or 4.5 because if it were a high aperture such as 22, the mid and foreground would be in focus as well. notice the depth of field in the photo.- Wyattx17, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Study up. http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html

- Trollmaster, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2fix the camera at certain location focusing on one exact same spot.... throw multiple pictures of yourself holding different letters in different locations.... merge with photoshop
- jazgold, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1he isn't holding letters. he's doing it at night or dusk, and leaving the shutter open for a long time... as he moves his cellphone or whatever around, it captures the light along the whole path of the letter. it's also open long enough so that enough light comes into the shutter to make it look like daytime. maybe he did it at dusk. it's possible he didn't do it with photoshop... but much easier if he did it in multiple tries and merged. you can bet he messed up a bunch first.
