| | | Well... that depends. Technically any shot that illuminates things where there is no light would qualify as "light painting." This is light painting: Tuberculosis - Long by NotBatman, on Flickr So it this: Bannz - CockMonster by NotBatman, on Flickr This kind of "light painting" I really get into and enjoy, when it's done well. (And to be perfectly honest, the second one could have used some more work. I still like it, though, because the subject matter cracks me up.) Now, the weird twirly shit with light bars and such? I've seen decent examples of it, but mostly yeah, it's overplayed. That fucking steel wool garbage, though... That shit's just got to go!

| Fair enough; I was more or less referring to the twirly stuff. Yes if your in a pitch dark place and you need some light to capture a pic that is much different.

| | | I think this particular thread was made with a lack of information. I, for one, love light painting. It's an interesting way to broaden your range of photographic abilities. Is it for everyone? No. But should you sit around bagging on it? Probably not. From your later post, you seem to think that light painting is just spinning steel wool. I personally love that (and I have the scars to prove it), but light painting has it's abilities that create a less realistic effect. Not all Art is the same. For example, comparing my work to Axle (who is an amazing photographer), is like comparing Dali and Warhol to Kinkade or Windberg. It's not reasonable. I do everything from Steel wool DSC_7449 by astroberkman17, on Flickr To Fireworks I will bow to no one by astroberkman17, on Flickr To writing my name Rainbow 'Stro by astroberkman17, on Flickr To play fighting DSC_2574 by astroberkman17, on Flickr To making shit have light so I can take a photo of it DSC_2617 by astroberkman17, on Flickr If you're bored of steel wool, I get it. But light painting is diiverse. All of these shits were a single exposure with NO EDITING AT ALL. No effects. No layering. Just long exposures and light manipulation. Personally, I think it's more my niche, than other things...so I do it because I enjoy it. No need to hate on it.

| I respect all artists opinions and rights to create whatever it is they like. But when I think of great photographers I think of works from the likes of Walker Evans, Don McCullin, Adams and others. I guess I am just old lol. I may be wrong and often I am but I see light painting as a fad that when all is said and done it won't stick as great work 50 years from now.
