Melted Rainbow
I've been wanting to do this for a long time now. I've been waiting for someone to help and a clear night with a full moon over head to get the right exposure. I attempted it once before at a different location, but it didn't turn out like I had hoped. This time it was a lot closer to what I envisioned. A friend and I brought over 100 glow sticks into the woods. My friend went up stream, around the bend and threw the glow sticks in the stream while I gathered them down stream, just past my camera. I built a net with chicken wire to try and catch the glow sticks, but I still ended up chasing after some that made it through somehow. Unfortunately, a lot of glow sticks got stuck on things, which makes the video a little less awesome, but it looks pretty neat none the less. This is 319 photos merged into one image using the lighten layer-blending mode in photoshop.
