One more post about night photography and then we’ll move on. Check out this website for an ongoing light painting project conducted by the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. The photos are fantastic. They use really long exposure times (like 45 seconds) and several hundred people holding external flash units. If you look really closely you can see my friend Melissa (or at least the light source she’s holding) in the 2003 shot. Cool, huh?

That is a neat photo. And I thought “light painting” was only done by Thomas Kincaide.

Nice photo. I once saw a display of these done of ruins in Europe. But the exposure was even longer and all the flashlight work was done by one man. Just amazing. -c
