Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

And a million more posts of this pic that didn't have light art in the title so they are hard to find.

That's what I do. It's even on my card.

Do you, like, have a job? I'm not insulting your work... I'm just curious what it is you get PAID to do while posting to Reddit all day.

You should repost stuff that's informative too, like how BP is still screwing us over after the oil crisis.

before... or after all the business with the cats?

But higher resolution, so it has value.

can someone tell me how this is done? I'm stupid :)

[–]suspencer 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Lower your iso to 100, put your aperture somewhere between 8 and 14 depending on the amount of ambient light, find something like a phone that emits steady light and then keep your shutter open for as long as you need and draw your shape with the light.

[–]BigLlamasHouse 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I could be wrong but it looks like he used sparklers in this case. A phone would definitely work too, but the sparklers were a pretty awesome choice.

[–]suspencer 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah way better than a phone... But, phones are much more readily available in most cases.

[–]ggk1 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

why does it only retain the shape you're drawing? It seems like there should be a massive blur of human all over the picture.

[–]motero 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There actually is a lot of blurred human behind him. The thing is that the sparklers are much brighter than everything else and since the guy "painting" is moving around all the time his image is underdeveloped and blurred.

[–]Mechakoopa 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Average light is key; when you close your aperture like that the amount of light taken in from the light source greatly exceeds the light from everything else that's not moving.

If you look closely at the image there is one person standing there for the entire exposure while you see his someone else (obviously different coloured shoes) running around with a sparkler painting bat wings around him, which is why the central subject isn't blurred at all.

[–]suspencer 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You do not emit enough light to blur the image. Since the image is all of the light collected for whatever the amount of time you exposed it for, only the brightest things will be the most pronounced. If you stood still in one spot for long enough you would appear but if you do a minute long exposure and just walk around the entire time, you would faintly be seen.

ISO? Aperture? I'm way out of my league already.

[–]suspencer 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'd suggest a little googling. ISO can be adjusted on most consumer digital cameras but for shots like these need a higher grade DSLR. You dial in the specific settings manually before the shot.

ISO- essentially the speed that the light enters the camera.

Aperture- The diameter of the opening of the lens that's letting in light.

I'm sorry slugger, but i don't think you'd understand. It's one of those things that's best left to people who can grasp moderately complex technical concepts.

Don't you worry your pretty little head about it and just enjoy the picture. :)
