Here is a subtle version of light painting that my friend photographed. Not as crazy as these, but still light painting.

Some nice shots. Anyone interested in light painting will enjoy these animated films from the Pika Pika project which use the technique to stunning effect http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zp-65Lwmh8

I really like these shots. This is something I never saw before. They all make you focus on the point of the picture. Great job!
