Light-drawing and light-writing is getting a fair bit of attention lately. Take these two commercials (below) for Sprint (also seen on Marc Schiller's blog). Quite creative don't you think?
I've been seeing more and more light-drawing over the past month or so, and you can see some excellent photographs by scrolling down on Lichtfaktor's MySpace page.
Lichtfaktor gives the following tips on how to draw with light using your camera:.
To get the best results you need a tripod.
The exposure should be around 10-30 sec. or longer if needed.
Stay in front of the camera and do your writing.
Set the camera to about iso100, and close your aperture as much as possible. This prevents over-exposure. If there is still too much light you might have to use a nd-filter.
Aaron at milienzo recently published another interesting article drawing attention to Lichtfaktor's Flickr set.
If you're liking what you see, there's a cool urban light-writing hip hop video over at Wooster Collective. For drum and bass fans I'd recommend giving this light writing video a few minutes of your time.
Oh, and have you seen the Drag and Draw project from Philips? Now you can actually encourage your kids to draw on walls! I'm liking the innovation.
