So a friend of mine challenged me to some light graffiti and I accepted. Strangely enough I'd never done it before, I'd always found it a bit too cliche kinda "This is what we do in highschool photography class" sort of thing.

BUT! It was good fun and I found ways to be "different"

Here are a couple of my better shots however you can view the entire gallery here. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dev-inspire/sets/72157600928592223/show/)

Ok, wow! How did you do the first one? It actually gives the car a fast look, and looks like it could be a Honda ad! That is very cool.

I call that "light painting" because I hide the light source from the camera and it only see the reflections on the surface of the subject, like painting light onto it.

Pretty neat eh? Thanks for the kind words.

The car shot is verrrry cool. I'll have to put this on my list of things to try - maybe even in IR...
