Denis Smith’s Great Balls of Light

Light, art and photography – it's a proven winning combination. Australian artist Denis Smith is a professional light painter whose Ball of Light project combines traditional long exposure photography with continuous movements of lights directed by the artist.

Surreal, glowing orbs are captured in peaceful yet unlikely places – a cemetery, a mountainside, a beach. Eerily they hover between land and sky, buzzing with strange energy and varied hues.

Would you believe that Smith doesn't use Photoshop to edit these incredible images? Smith says "there is so much post processing of photography today, I wanted to create something that was real, yet unreal. No pixels are added or subtracted from the Ball of Light images."
