There are no limitations when it comes to lighting a subject, or on what to light them with. Sean Lenz and Kristoffer Abildgaard dropped colorful high-powered Cyalume glow sticks into a waterfall and photographed it with a long exposure. The result is truly stunning:

The duo photographed a series of waterfalls around Northern California, now part of a collection titled “Neon Luminance.” Lenz and Abildgaard would drop in individual glow sticks or string several together to create different patterns of light, with exposures lasting anywhere from 30 seconds to 7 minutes.
For those of you with the environment on your mind, the photographers say the glow sticks were left intact and fished out of the stream after every session.

So the photographer got a very interesting shot by throwing multiple containers of unknown chemicals into a stream. I imagine none of those containers were recovered. Why is your site advocating unethical activity? Shame on all involved.
