Light Artist

I caught the tail end of a  feature on BBC CountryFile  tonight about a guy composing pictures from flashes of light.

He had a CLEAR SKY in the Brecon Beacons and promptly started flashing a light on and off.

I guess he couldn't help the night the film crew turned up but I hope he sticks to astrophotography if he turns up at a dark site next to me!

I saw this too.  Reminded me of what Picasso did years before:

Yes - a classic way the media treat a truly dark sky by flooding it with essential camera lights to show a guy light painting - even presenter Matt Baker briefly realised the sky had stars before swamped with a waving torchlight of the "artist" - it had all the subtlety of misplaced fireworks display - sigh

Not everyone feels as we do. All we can do is keep reminding people what's there above their heads if only they would see.... Yeah, I know clouds usually but still...

I saw that item too. Fortunately his lights are not going to make much difference to sky darkness. Even so, it's hardly the point of a dark sky area is it?
