One of the most unique light paintings I’ve seen, this image has a fluidity that causes the brain to confuse light for matter. It is neato. What makes it neato? Well, I think it’s mostly neato because the way the lines are painted makes the light seem like it has taken form and is alive.

3. Sphere of the Open Water

I do not understand how some light painters are able to create such perfect perforated light beams. But I like it. Light painting is able to create such perplexing images. How is one to feel about the image of a lonely self-circling disc of multi colored light? It’s a little sad. But also a lot of fun. That’s weird. And maybe that’s the particular weirdness of light paintings.

5. Or, Then Again, Maybe This Is the Particular Weirdness of Light Paintings

At least, that’s what my two-year-old would call this photo. What a great idea to take a long exposure of a car and to keep it underexposed, knowing that the brightness of the light “paintbrush” would balance out the composition. I chose this example because it emblematizes the way light painting adds imagination to reality.

7. The Whole Light Paint Bucket

First of all, if you don’t get the title’s reference, then don’t worry about it. It’s a video game thing. Second of all, if you have any kind of interest in photography but spend a lot of time working indoors, you’ve probably tried taking pictures of inanimate things around your office. (OK, so I’m talking about myself.) Chances are, you haven’t had much luck. The pics were probably more fun to take than to examine, and they have probably been long since lost in the black matter of erased data. In other words, the photos weren’t good. But this one happens to be really awesome. It’s fun and very cool looking. Hadukin! Hadukin to bad office still lifes! Hadukin to darkness! Ha. Du. Kin.

When you are ready to mow the lawn, you may have to pull your mower’s starter a few times before it turns over. In the event of a power outage, of course, you really don’t want to put up with such issues with your generator. Typically, whole-house generators will activate automatically when the power goes out, regulated by an automatic transfer switch. If yours is thus equipped, but doesn’t come on when needed, you are in need of repairs. If you’ve had them done before, though, and are still struggling with this issue, a generator replacement is worth considering.

Your whole-house generator burns fuel in order to power your home in the event of a power outage. If it is burning through more and more fuel during its operation, though, running your generator may simply cost more than it is worth to keep your electricity flowing when the power goes out. Replacing your system with a more efficient model may be advisable.

You need to test your generator and have it inspected regularly to ensure that it will be there for you when you need it most. If problems keep popping up upon such inspections and tests, it may no longer be cost effective to continue repairing your existing system. A replacement generator could offer you greater reliability as well as reduced repair costs.
