LightBomber lets you create light paintings with your iPhone camera
I’ve loved creating light paintings with cameras ever since I was a 15-year-old with a Konica T4. My friend Scott and I would light sparklers and leave the shutter open on my Konica to produce these wonderful-looking images. I can still remember the thrill of seeing those photos, with their ethereal light trails, coming back from the photo lab.
