Eric Staller takes photos using shutter speeds of between 1 minute to 5 minutes. He often uses sparklers to create his light painting photographs, which he takes at night so the light is captured at its clearest.
Below are some examples of his work:
To achieve my own light paintings, I set up a camera on a tripod, so that there would be no unwanted motion blur, and used a 30 second exposure time. From there I lit a sparkler, and walked or ran around, creating patterns as I went. As it was dark, it was quite difficult to tell if the shot would be in focus or not, makings some of my shots unsuccessful. Also, I did not calculate the sparkler's life to be so short, and I had very few with me. If I were to repeat this experiment, I would use more sparklers, and maybe use some other life sources, such as a torch or flame.
