Lightmark

More shots here.

The way they take these shots is really cool. There is no Photoshop involved. Instead they use really long exposure times, and then have people with flashlights walk into the pictures to add the extra light that you see. The people don't show up in the pictures because the camera only captures the lightest thing it is exposed to and the people are darker than that, so they don't show up at all. Cool beans!

If you turn the flashlight on yourself, then you get some other cool effects. Here's one I did a while back using a external flash unit to light myself up for just an instant during a 30-second exposure. http://www.pbase.com/jeremygood/image/42160556
