I really like this guy's work.
That's all I wanted to say really!

Wow .
Interesting, but my favourite light painting photograph is...
this one. Picasso painting on thin air instead of his usual canvas by the photographer Gjon Mili, taken in 1949.

So, not a new idea then!
I knew that the guy above hadn't invented the technique, but it must have been pretty innovative 60 years ago!
I remember a Guardian photo competition winner doing something similar with a sparkler. I can't find it on Google, but it was a bit like this.
I like the jagged edges you get with these ones.
I did a series of self portraits...
with very long exposures using torchlight to light my face. Each brief burst of light gradually builds up enough to give shape and form. Very ghostly... and probably an improvement on my normal fizzog.
There's a bunch of French(?) guys
Who've been doing this for a while, including some very clever stop-mo animations - dematerialisations in phone boxes and animated bins and things. Irritatingly, I can't find a link, though some of their work crops up on this page...
