I think it is cool as hell. Let the haters hate.

Lucky LaRue		2013-04-10 02:32:32 PM

Ha! You call yourself an Artist?!

No, those were awesome, and I am jealous you got them published.

antidisestablishmentarianism		2013-04-10 02:33:22 PM

So you are facing north?

Quality Unassured		2013-04-10 02:34:30 PM

For an article about pretty pictures, what's with the horrendously compressed lead image?

antidisestablishmentarianism		2013-04-10 02:35:39 PM

antidisestablishmentarianism: So you are facing ~~north~~south?

FTFM

Thought the same thing. The actual light paintings are so cool, why did they lead with garbage?

/I'm going to try this myself tonight methinks

pute kisses like a man		2013-04-10 02:39:17 PM

very cool

UNC_Samurai		2013-04-10 02:40:06 PM

You should have a guy dressed as George Washington mimic chopping down a tree. Call it something like "Apocrypha".

karmaceutical		2013-04-10 02:43:02 PM

That Fenix is a nice little torch.

The art is cool, also.

Odd Bird		2013-04-10 02:43:03 PM

Drunken monkey with a flashlight?

Seriously, pretty neat stuff.

foxyshadis		2013-04-10 02:45:09 PM

That was a Farker? Awesome, I saw it yesterday and thought it was pretty cool.

Quality Unassured: For an article about pretty pictures, what's with the horrendously compressed lead image?

You should see the full size images. They all look like they were compressed at JPEG quality 0, with solid blocks where sky should be and more noise than detail.

Lucky LaRue: You call yourself an Artist?!

It's not art unless someone's smeared fecal matter on it.

ChubbyTiger		2013-04-10 02:50:53 PM

So, is it cool if I just refer to Fark artists as Fartists?

/nicely done, smitty

Satan's Bunny Slippers		2013-04-10 02:52:21 PM

Very cool. 'Grats subby.

dj_spanmaster		2013-04-10 02:55:30 PM

Wish I'd thought of it.

Good pics, anon Farker.

miscreant		2013-04-10 02:56:15 PM

OMG! You captured ghosts in your photos! Call in the paranormal researchers!

BAMFinator		2013-04-10 03:08:08 PM

Very cool effects. Saw a photo a kid did in high school with the Delicate Arch in Utah. Same concept.

IntertubeUser		2013-04-10 03:10:24 PM

Hmmm...since when does illumination=painting?

Art? Sure. I guess. Painting? No.

thismomentinblackhistory		2013-04-10 03:14:16 PM

He's painting with light.

Here, hit this joint really quick...

Ranger Joe		2013-04-10 03:17:32 PM

So does subby contribute to the weekly Fartography contest? And if no, why not?

Excellent work.

FlashHarry		2013-04-10 03:17:52 PM

GalFriday		2013-04-10 03:18:05 PM

Set it as my desktop background. Love it.

/you aren't going to charge me for that are you?

FarKtography. FTFM.

I don't want to think about what Fartography is.

airsupport		2013-04-10 03:20:08 PM

Beautiful work.

xooxox		2013-04-10 03:21:31 PM

meh.. Did this for my wife 10 years ago when she took a photography class. She had to take a long exposure night picture, so we went to a lake and i 'painted' a canoe with a flashlight.

/made a nice pic.
//framed it and hung it in the house.
///didnt get published :-(

Magellan was a great fartographer, but only after some good chili.

Wonderful pics Subby. You even got a few ghosts in there. :)

Domenge has recently gotten inspired by the organizational-development model known as Appreciative Inquiry, which urges people to spend less time and effort on problem solving and more on finding and then bolstering good things.

That's an interesting concept. Is it beyond "think good thoughts", and how so? Not snarking, I like this idea.

Ebenator		2013-04-10 03:28:45 PM

I liked light painting cherry blossoms before it got all mainstream.

maniacbastard		2013-04-10 03:33:02 PM

I have had prettier things violently fly out of my body after a three day vodka Burrito bender.

I lied, nice pics.

valar_morghulis		2013-04-10 03:33:53 PM

I have no idea what light painting is, but those are some right-pert photoboxes.

meat0918		2013-04-10 03:45:20 PM

Very cool.

If it's not raining tonight, I'm gonna try this in my backyard.

lennavan		2013-04-10 03:48:41 PM

Wow. So this guy takes three frickin awesome pictures and The Atlantic decides to lead with this piece of crap?

PhDemented		2013-04-10 03:59:05 PM

I think you caught a fairy in the first picture... on the full size, bottom left quadrant right about the bifurcation of the major branch

PhDemented		2013-04-10 04:00:06 PM

PhDemented: I think you caught a fairy in the first picture... on the full size, bottom left quadrant right ~~about~~ above the bifurcation of the major branch

FTFM

The gorillapod supports the weight of an DSLR? I've ruined a few similar mini tripods with too heavy cameras in the past.
