December 10, 2015 - Day 344 - 365 Day Challenge
A terribly rainy day today....I was waiting in the car while my friend ran an errand and noticed the interesting shapes and colours across the street.
abstract digital art:
all elements of this image were created by me
I've had an idea about painting on canvas and then using a needle to poke through the canvas and add threads to the image. It's fun to try it digitally to see what it might look like. My idea was to have the threads all hang vertically and be lose at the bottom. It seems that horizontal threads would either have to be stretched straight across the canvas or hang in lose arcs unless I stitch in and out of the canvas to made them wavy. Or perhaps I can have the threads cross over each other, so it is impossible to tell which thread is which.
October 19, 2018: I've finally gotten around to woking on a handmade work based on this image. It is actually quite different in color, composition and even in the shape of the canvas (square). Once it is completed, I'll take a photo and post it, then add a link to it here. It will probably take me a few more days to complete it.

These were made by me on the back patio..
“Immature Photography” in comments has kindly pre-empted my posting of this with various links on Light Domes..
As the links show this was a closely guarded secret by the very clever inventor of this light painting technique but the internet doesn’t hold a secret for long.
I used an old bicycle wheel, fifteen 3volt LED’s, two 9volt batteries, a 12V switch, some wire and tape plus a length of threaded rod.
I fixed a length of threaded rod through the axle housing with a lock nut either side so that it protrudes on one side to a distance roughly equal to the wheel radius and about 100mm the other side.. this is where you mount the switch.
Wire the batteries in series i.e. Pos to Neg To Pos to Neg so the output is 18Volts then wire the 3volt LED’s into 3 separate groups of 5 and connect to the batteries via the switch.
Space the LED’s around the rim evenly and wire them in groups to the batteries via the on/off switch.
My Method..
Wear dark clothing, mark out on the ground where you want to centre the domes, set the camera for remote shutter and in bulb mode, set the focus manually, use a low ISO (200) and a smallish aperture..around f/14, place the wheel with the lights away from the camera, i.e. long axle pointing at camera, fire the shutter, switch the lights on and give the wheel one or two ground rotations then turn it off. Repeat procedure for as many light domes as you like then close the shutter.
