This is really amazing to play with amazing lights and making a artwork with help of light is also look like magical waves. This is a light painting called “Lateralus” by Wes Whaley, created using a long exposure and a set of ‘light tools’ including a paint roller and some fluorescent tubing. Wes Whaley – a sales rep for an electrical supply company in Alabama, US – devised the homemade kit himself. Wes Whaley said, After seeing David Gilliver’s gorgeous light paintings  in former Nazi-occupied bunkers, we knew that we were only at the beginning of a shockingly amazing art form. Wes Whaley is another “light junkie” who, by day, works as a sales representative for an electrical supply company and, by night, turns into a magnificent artist. As for the patterns I make, I shape EL wire on a screen and spin it in a circle.” So what’s in Whaley’s tool box? “I use a Canon Rebel XS, EL wire, RBG strips, and a tripod,” he says. “I mount my lights on a paint roller and use the tripod to spin it to make perfect circles. Coleman glow sticks are for the fire effect. The EL gives me the patterns.” As for advice he’d give to others interested in picking up this art form, Wesley’s quick to say, “Get some EL wire and experiment it’s awesome stuff!”"It is very hard to explain to the police what you are doing out in the middle of the night, which is waving lights at a camera!”
