The Nexus

So what do you do when the temperature is in the low 30's and it's raining and snowing? ....well, you certainly don't go out and shoot nightscapes! I took this opportunity to give a try at some lightpainting in a nearby culvert for runoff water. This month's assignment for the photo club I'm in is lightpainting, so I wanted to give a try at something a bit different that my typical night images.

 

After my first serious attempt at spinning an orb I have much more respect for those that can do this well. I'm sure that given time and with more practice that it gets easier and they look better. Anyway, mine looks like crap.

 

This is a single exposure shot that I was able to capture in just under 100 seconds.

 

Lights used:

Blue Orb: LED Flashlight on a string that had a blue plastic water bottle cap on the end.

Red Lines: Small LED glow stick that Santa gave to one of my kids at Christmas.

Green Light: LED flashlight that has 10 different colors. Thanks to Jeff Maltzman for telling me about this very cool $18 purchase.
