Using a slow shutter speed, photographer and physicist Kristian Cvecek captures incredible firefly trails like you’ve never seen. The fireflies appear like ghosts weaving their way through an enchanted forest.
Cvecek patiently waits between nine and ten o’clock at night to get his shots. They’re taken in a forest in Germany, near his home in Eriangan, near Nuremburg.

Environmental Occupations Mark Dorf

Lee Eunyeol - Starry Night (2012)
Artist’s statement:
“Starry night expresses private spaces given by night and various emotions that are not able to be defined and described in the space. I’ve chosen analogue type for the expression, which attempts to install electric bulbs in an objet to be expressed using back space of night by taking advantage of huge studio. There are two spaces in photographs. One is a space before electric bulbs of familiar landscape are installed and the other is a space after electric bulbs expressed by dispersing personal emotion are installed. Unified light from these two spaces generates a mysterious landscape.”

That he did, and in quite an impressive DIY style, sometimes working on his fire escape or kitchen stove top. He started experimenting with colored LED lights and let them leak onto the film, after which he wound the film back into the canisters to be processed.[…]
