              Light Painting Just Keeps Getting Better and Better

              fsnewslogo Light Painting Just Keeps Getting Better and Better

              Every time I think light painting is a fad that will soon reach, “seen it all before” status, some one comes along and changes my mind. Enter Dennis Calvert. If you want to see some spectacular examples of this exploding art form, check out some of Dennis’s work below.

                Amazing, and to be honest, I can’t quite make out how on earth he made those…

              • http://www.facebook.com/martinpbooth Martin Booth

                Some of them I can see how it’s either a sparkler or lazer pen, but a lot of them must have a hell of a set up!

              • http://twitter.com/Mad_BD Shimmer

                cool but each shot is the same kinds of things in the same place, so it doesn’t really have variety or impress. i  mean if their was a page 2, i’d expect to see the same stuff in the center of the photo, on a person.

                This is one of my favorite artists on flickr.  He does alot of painting with light and long exposures.

                LED, lasers, sparklers, and likely flashlights in some cases.

                I applaud his skill at pre-visualizing how me plans to manipulate light though.

              • Mike M

                 I think it impresses, but I agree some of the images have a lot of negative space, which doesn’t always add to the image. 

                And the images with the same technique in them, do fail to impress the second time around.
