Sean Lenz and Kristoffer Abildgaard collaborated for this series titled Neon Luminance. A variety of high-powered Cyalume glow sticks were dropped into several waterfalls in Northern California. As the sticks fell with the water, submerged trails of light were then captured with varying long exposures.To achieve different patterns of illumination they strung several sticks together and collected them at the end of each exposure.
   
Ian Hobson
http://www.lightpainting.org.uk
Ian's work involves painting with light, using long exposure photography and a moving light source. 
Most of Ian's paintings are abstract motifs, often comprised of the simple patterns our brains construct complex images from, such as circles, dots, spirals and zig-zags. These motifs are influenced by my study of prehistoric rock art and neuroscience, making reference to the relationship between consciousness and time, as seems appropriate given the methods employed.
