What happens when you shoot long exposures of graffiti with sparklers. 🎆

in art •  7 years ago 

I had some sparklers left over from a wedding gig; so I wondered what'd happen if I shoot long exposures of graffiti at night, while outlining the murals with a sparkler.

So I packed my car and headed to Brooklyn. These re the results...

I haven't done this idea since 2012 - perhaps I should give it another shot this summer (no pun intended).

      Just regular sparklers. I think they had a white / blue hue.

          The legit artists aren't thugs. It's the vandals you've got to worry about. Lol

                      @laique Do not copy and paste the same comments on all posts that are spam.
                      At least take the trouble to read the post
                      to make a good comment.
