Light painting photo-art is created using various lights moved in front of the camera set on a long exposure.  Sparklers, roman candles, LED lights, neon lights, flashlights, and about anything that creates light can be used to create awesome effects in your  pictures.


These photographs are all single exposure, long shutter exposure works of art.  Some of the exposure times can exceed 5 minutes depending how much movement and how dark the surrounding area is. 


Light painting has become a new and growing movement in the photography world.  Many photo sharing sites have groups dedicated to this incredible art form.
