The Strobist has a piece today that hits two of my interests, landscape and night photography, and ties them together with the use of strobes and light painting.

While I have done a bit of “light painting” in my night photography, I’m not a “flashy kind of guy” myself. However, I’m becoming more intrigued after following the Strobist for the past month or two. If you don’t already subscribe to their news feed, I recommend it. Visit The Strobist to find out more.
