Light Graffiti is a simple form of art using photographic techniques. Light Graffiti is made from different types of light sources and time lapse photography. This new trend to art uses the movement of light to create awesome pictures and is usually created on the streets, inside darkrooms and also at Artists studio.
Here are some few inspirational example of light graffiti.

    Some of these are really sweet, I love ‘Light Orbs’ in particular.

    I tried this a few weeks ago with varied results.

    Chris Hanson, if you’re going to complain at least have work better than theirs, your work is laser tracing, not at all as interesting or artful as the work in the post.

    I like the mailbox one, reminds me of the binary watch this guy made that when moved horizontally shows the time in a similar light graffiti way.

    You know, I did one of these once, it was my name, barely legible, and I thought it was amazing. Gotta say, some of these are absolutely mind blowing, Thanks for sharing!

    Nice article, but it’s not time lapse photography it’s long exposure (time lapse is a series of still photographs taken over time played in rapid succession)

    I’ve been thinking lately about what sort of lights are the best/cheapest to use. I have had some lights that barely show up in the picture at times. Anybody know where to find long bars of like 100 LEDs? I think having one of those would be sweet!

    Wanted to add some of my light graf too:
