Thanks a lot!
Light painting still isn't acknowledged as an own style yet, or rather people just don't know whether to put it with photography or with art. It's also only a small community of light painters around the globe for now. But the great thing about it is creating a whole scenery with light and still having the aspect of reality in the pictures through the surroundings the camera also records. It's like a fantasy world within our real world. A semi-reality.

Oh, and thank you for the fave! ^^

Photography -is- art though, as much art as this is. "The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination" That's the Google definition of art anyway, and I don't see where it's wrong. Heck, if Poetry, simply words spoken or written by a person, can be called art, why shouldn't this? Truthfully I thought this was a digital piece, once I heard it was Light Painting I had no idea what that was, and still don't really. Regardless, you made use of your environment, light/shading, angles, time of day, and just about everything that must be accounted for in an artistic photograph. We just need to get those suits whom think they get to decide what's "art" (I assume that's how it works anyway. Some officials somewhere deciding what's art for everyone else) to recognize this and give it the right to it's own category in DA. Bah, there I am ranting again. Grats on DD and have a nice day :3

Your description makes it even cooler xD. I hope in the future it grows and is recognized!

How did you get the sphere on the center?
I can imagine about the green lines, but
the sphere really gets me curious.
Great work.

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

The sphere (it's rather called orb among light painters ) is the most common object in light painting and it's pretty easy, too, when you get a hold of it. You just put different lights on a staff - depending on the effects you want - and start spinning it in front of yourself. Then you also move in a circle around a spot on the ground. So you basically have two movements to form the sphere - spinning the staff vertically and moving around the spot in a circle. The middle of the staff must always stay above this spot, otherwise the orb won't turn out well. One round around the spot should be enough for the camera to capture those movements in a sphere.

Hope this helps!
