so, my first dq...;( and the score was at 6.3...aaargh
i swear it was taken within the date, but ok i forgot to set the camera date und so i broke the rules...
for those who are interested:
of course i wrote this with my left hand literally inverted...
;P no just kiddin' i flipped it horizontally.
this technic is called "luminogramm". i was inspired by some painters like picasso, who did this before with other things.
i took the shutter up to 8 sec, wrote the word in totally darkness (btw my username "mephisto", i know the the "i" is missing ;P) and after 7 sec a flash to get the model sharp.
thx evryone for the critic and votes though

I think this is the best entry I've seen so far. In any event, it's my first "10." Excellent work.

would be interested to know how you exposed this to include both you the background and catch the fire without blowing it out too much.

Nice shot, if I return and find you didn't flip the shot horizontally, I'll be even more impressed. ;) I bet you did though...7 Chances are you aren't left handed.

Wow, this is superb. I'm stumped on how he is in such good focus if indeed he used a fire stick. :( Great work

How did you get the light-stroke words and a perfectly in-focus person in the same basic-edit image?

Unusual, but well done.....

This guy must be really good - to be able to write laterally inverted!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/01/2006 12:40:01 AM
This is VERY well done. I'm assuming this a long exposure with fill flash for the subject and then the writing done in complete darkness with a cigarette lighter. I'd like to see the colour version too.
