I posted a Live Composite shot in another thread, which generated some interest in the technique, so here are a few more examples (the last is a light painting example, using a handheld flashlight as the light source).

The first one is really amazing.

#1 makes sort of sea sick, still undecided if I like it or not:)

The first shot is stunning…

As long as it made you feel something, I'm happy.
I didn't want to mention it right off, but that photo won a $1,000 prize in the Brandywine Plein Air competition.

Jim: The award was well-deserved. Thanks for sharing that image; it is fascinating. Is there some way for the rest of us who don't have your particular brand of camera + associated software to mimic the same technique?

You can mimic this with any camera, but it would be tedious. All you have to do is to take a long series of shots, load them into Photoshop as layers, and blend them using "lighten." My Olympus Live Composite images typically use thousands of frames, but you could reduce the number needed by using a longer base exposure.
I expect this sort of in-camera computed photography to become more common. Olympus has been a leader with its hi-resolution, focus stacking and live composite modes, but there's no reason others can't follow suit.

Fascinating results and technique.
I agree: the award was well-deserved.

Ditto what everyone else said: #1 is unique and captivating.
