36 Jaw-dropping Light Painting Photographs - You The Designer




Posted: 26 Dec 2011 08:00 AM PST
Light painting (also called light graffiti or light drawing) is a photography technique that requires a great amount of discipline, creativity and precision. It can be achieved by using a slow shutter speed setting in a dark place. By utilizing either a moving light source or a moving camera, the lens captures an illusion of glowing paint. Some photographers add subjects that would be illuminated along with the play of lights. Similar to actual paintings, the background plays a huge role in the set.
There are millions of light painting photographs. These are just 36 of the best.
