Light graffiti is spectacular

Light Art Performance Photography by Jan Wöllert and Jörg Miedza.

“A host of light sources, from flash lights and bike lights to blinking LED lights, are used to ‘paint’ a picture straight onto the camera lens.  Also known as light drawing or light painting, these arresting images are created with long exposure cameras in the dark. Sometimes the exposures run on for longer than an hour.  LAPP-PRO specializes in single-shot, long-exposure images manipulated with movement of light. They used a 21.1 megapixel Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera to capture these high-resolution images.”

Note: These images were NOT manipulated by any computer enhancement.  Amazing stuff.  Check out additional images of this stunning ‘light graffiti’ in the gallery below.

Bokeh filter: from blurs to shapes

What is this term ‘bokeh?’  What does the bokeh filter do, exactly?  According to the product’s website:

One of the fastest growing fads in modern photography is bokeh shapes. Bokeh shapes are shapes of light in the blurred background of photos. These shapes are achieved by using a bokeh filter over the camera lens. Bokeh is a photography term derived from the Japanese word for blurred. Bokeh refers to the unfocused background in a photo.  The Bokeh Filter is a simple filter that clips onto the end of your lens. This filter blocks out pieces of light that cause the bokeh (blur) in your images to take the shape of the filter.  The Bokeh Filter has a clip-on design that allows you to quickly apply the filter to your photos.

Cool, huh?  Check out additional images below of the bokeh filter in use.
