Cool light graffiti

| ->> Ok, for the life of me, I can't figure out how he does those. I've done a little light painting, and that is a unique take on it. How does he manage to make them so defined so you can pretty much tell what each individual car is? I guess you could paint the car but you can see the background "thru" the area where the car would be, and I don't think you could paint it then move the car to get the background, could you? I don't know, thats pretty cool tho. |

| ->> Some fun stuff on there. Some guys at work showed that link to me a little bit ago. That banana shot is great. I'm still trying to process in my head exactly what the photog did to make it. |

->> David, in the caption the photographer mentions how he did it. I missed it the first time looking at the picture as well. Pretty amazing. Here is the caption.
"No photoshop! To take this photo, I set up some white paper for a background in a dark room. I laid strawberries on a table and separately stood up a banana with some cardboard and tape. With the lights on, I set up a quick-release tripod properly framing the banana (this makes it much easier later). Now the lights are off. So now I set my camera to bulb and used my built-in pop up flash to shoot straight down on the strawberries, filling the frame. Keeping my finger on the shutter button, I put my camera on the tripod and then hit the pilot button on an external flash. The flash hits the white background behind the banana, silhouetting it briefly. Effectively, this washes out all of the original photo of the strawberries except for where the silhouette is, thereby superimposing the first image into the second. And you get a cool glossy product-shot-reflection-look that results from the shadow drop off of the external-flash (although if you look closely, you'll notice the "reflection" is actually just other strawberries from the initial shot) And now you can have a strawberry-banana! Canon 20D 17-55 IS lens @ f/22 ISO 200 13s (multiple focal length)"

| ->> Right, I know. Even after reading that I'm trying to process in my head how it was done. That's what I was getting at. |

->> Hey guys,
I've been working on another form of light graffiti and thought I'd share it with you. I'm calling it "Light Animation".

There's a lot of filler in there, but you get the idea.
Cheers. |

->> Neil, cool stuff!
I've been experimenting with these techniques for a while now and just finished up a piece on how to make your own Light-writing videos and how to convert your light-writing character set into an actual computer font for various effects in Photoshop or any other program that lets you select your own fonts.

And I, too, always wondered where Strawberry-Banana yogurt came from. Now I know! |

->> Thanks Jack. I actually filmed a "How To" video last night! It won't be posted for a month or two though because it will be released with another video that I can't really talk about either...
I'll try to remember to post it here when it comes out. If not, just check my blog in a month or so...
