Extreme Light Painting: Artist Uses Just One LED to Trace Entire Rooms with Light Waves

How many trips up and down the stairs do you think it took artist Janne Parviainen to create this incredible topographical light painting?

Apparently, quite a few. Using only one LED, he moves around his house, tracing all of the surfaces.

Sometimes the exposure times are up to 30 minutes to achieve this effect.

He's done similar projects in the past, like these fun, but slightly creepy skeletons.

Check out Janne's website and Flickr profile to see more of his work.
