great idea. This is four images merged, right? I like that because you dont have the trail between letters.

@Simon Tew: hey simon. it's actually one unedited image. there's no links between the letters because i covered the lens whilst the writer moved between letters... there's four 'people' in the shot because there was enough light from the sparkler to illuminate his chest when he was writing each letter.
cheers...
Wow!!! I love this, always wanted to make an attempt myself. Is there much work involved? Or just a long shutter speed?

@Nicole: see reply to simon. just make sure your camera is on a tripod, or some books in this case.. trial and error is the way to go, and prepare for your battery to be sucked of it's life as it processes long exposures.. ha
