When science and art come together, the results can be glowing - quite literally in the case of two photographers' 'Neon Luminance' art.
Sean Lenz and Kris Abildgaard's, both San Francisco-based artists, want to 'capture the world and show its true beauty'. With a waterfall and the help of glow sticks, the pair have created these stunning photos, showing light trailing through water as the sticks are carried with the natural current.
Sean Lenze, said: "As landscape/action photographers we were intrigued how the neon lights are effected by long exposure photography."
Leaving the camera shutter open for between 30 seconds and seven minutes, Sean and Kris have produced this series of multi-coloured 'neon luminance' photos.
Sean added: "The chemicals are inside the glow sticks. Since they are buoyant they float in the stream and take the natural path of the water. When the sticks reach the end of the stream we pick them out, so there is no harm to the environment.
"We're looking to refine the concept and take photos every week for a future series."
Keep your eye out for more eye-catching photography from Sean and Kris. In the meantime, flick through the rest of their 'Neon Luminance' art:

David has spent £10,000 and 250 nights over the last three years prowling the island of Guernsey at night to capture these incredible images without using digital manipulation. Instead 32-year-old David took advantage of a photographic technique called 'long exposure' which he combined with his own style of light painting to produce to his works of art. With clever titles such as 'Where Rainbows Sleep' for an image of a rainbow seeming to weave its way into an attic space, and 'Give me Shelter' for a purple orb resting in a bus shelter these pictures could make your head spin. Light painting, light drawing or light graffiti, is a photographic technique that relies on using long exposure times. This is coupled with a hand-held light source that is used to 'paint' within the photograph while it is being taken, usually outdoors and at night. (Photo credit: David Gilliver / Barcroft Media)
