Amazing Light Paintings
Light paintings, also known as light drawing or light graffiti, is a photography technique in which exposures are usually made at night or in a darkened room. The images we are featuring here are from Jan Wöllert and Jörg Miedza, the guys behind LAPP-PRO. The light art performance photography (briefly LAPP) is a one-shot, long time bulb exposure photography, performed additionally with movement of light. LAPP originates on a real-time basis directly in front of the camera, created between opening and closing the shutter.
The work from Jan Wöllert and Jörg Miedza was suggested by one of our readers, longo, who mentioned these guys and asked us for a post about them. As they have some really amazing photos, we made this selection to show you here. Long exposure photography involving light effects are really awesome. We also featured a post about it a while ago, Awesome Light Graffiti Pictures, and here we are again showing nice 'light paintings' to inspire you! In writing this post, I remembered the statement, "In photography, it's all about light." I would say that it all depends on the effect that you want to produce - the correct light, the right amount of light, extra light, 'moving' light and maybe no light! Personally, I really liked LAPP-PRO's photos. They are pure art! And thanks to longo for the great suggestion! Enjoy. :)

excellent articles, some of those are really great quality, DO you have a turorial of how to create and effect like that?
Thanks
Really cool! :) ...FUDIDO!
If it's true what they say that they do not use any programs for these shots, it's some amazing stuff!
These are amazing! I've done a little bit of light writing, and it's so much fun! Your post has definitely given me a lot of ideas on new things to try.
Thanks!
my gosh these effects are awsome. if these were on a solid background can add them into images in photoshop
Amazing!

Awesome! Now how exactly do you make something like that?
ya, these were great the last 4 times you guys posted them
These are something to get inspired about!
stunning
I'd love to see a tutorial for that…
amazing! very talented.
Folks, its all about shutter speed. Put the shutter speed up to about 30 seconds or a minute or whatever you're camera can handle (uses lots of battery) and set it on still ground with a tripod. dance around with a few glowsticks or something and enjoy the magic afterwards
amazing
i tried this once...

Vraiment beau !
WOW very very cool! Will be trying it myself now, tried it with a mag-lite a month or so ago but wasn't a fraction as cool as this :)
way better than I've ever done.... but then again I don't have the arsenal of leds and glow sticks you must be using there... well done!
for those asking how to do this, you have to have a camera on a tripod that can do looooong exposure (any SLR will do), then just run around with a light (or swing one on the end of a string/stick/whatever...)
Skills to pay da bills...Great stuff...
Fantastic work from Jan and Jörg...we would like to see these projected onto buildings or printed to a very large scale!
Great Blog. Tanks For the Information. I'm going to try to find out how I can start making my own light graffiti!

These blow me away! I want to take them and put them on all my walls.
Use a DSLR camera or a camera where you can control the shutter speed (measured in seconds). You will want to set the camera to BULB mode. Meaning the shutter will remain open as long as the shutter button is depressed.
A tripod will be REQUIRED and a cable or wireless shutter release as well. The cable release will further prevent camera shake from appearing in your final image.
Try it. Aim the camera at the sky once the sun as set and its still partially light out!!
Simply amazing effects. Love 'em!
Really amazing shots. It's a pretty widely practiced genre, but these are most unique.

Great locations, too.
Is this even real or just shopped.
Well, I know it is not shopped but for an ignoramus like me it seems like it. Truly amazing.
Those light spheres look like the ones in Terminator movies which brings Arnold to the Earth out of no where.
I would like to make my brand new SUV Mahindra Scorpio ( http://www.mahindrascorpio.com ) light up like that and drive through the night. What a sight that would be!!!!
