This is easily one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in the world of photography.

I’ve heard of light painting before, but these guys take it to a whole new level with stop motion animation using long exposures and hand-held lights. I can’t even begin to imagine the level of patience, talent, coordination, and pure skill it takes to create some of the animation sequences they make.

If you have a few free minutes today, use them to watch this video. I promise you won’t wish you’d gotten those few minutes of your life back.

And if you decide to try your hand at creating some “lightning doodles”, post your results to the reader photo pool so everyone can enjoy.
