I don't know if this sort of stuff has been posted before but I thought it might make a good thread.

I wouldn't mind as much if graffiti artists used these in big cities instead of paint

Awesome, love some of the things people can do using this.

It wouldn't be graffiti then

Graffiti - means to draw or scratch on a wall

which also means the threads titled wrong lol

cool shapes how do they do this again, something to do with slow camera snappers?

Very cool

Don't suppose there's a 1680x1050 of this?

As a culture evolves so does the language it uses, words come to encompass larger meanings, this is simply a new form of Graffiti.

It's done by using a camera with a long explosure and differant light sources like glow sticks and torches, my friend has done quite few for his Art A-Level. He mainly works with objects such as cars/post boxes/bins etc.

I wouldn't mind having ago at this sounds like fun.

Very true I guess I just always see graffiti as drawings and stuff.

Strange question but can you name another word thats encompasses a larger meaning?

That last one is good, there are a few moving ones around also.

Not off the top of my head, I was being facetious more than anything. I think its true though that simply because a word has a specific meaning it can't apply to something else.

They are rather awesome - might have a bit of an experiment with my camera and some lights this evening! The shot with the cartoon animal peaking round the corner must have taken a few attempts to judge the actual motion of the lights to make that shape!

I'd imagine neon lights or super-bright LED work best.

Thats pretty cool

If they use a slow camera speed would there not be a big blur from the person running around with the light?

krooton · 3 Jun 2009 at 12:01

I made these back in 2005

arknor · 3 Jun 2009 at 12:06

could do some of them in photoshop within a few seconds!

seems pointless unless they look really good, simple ones are just a waste of time imo
