Mobius Sky Lanterns
~~~~~
How inspiring is it to see the Milky Way, a comet, and the famous Mobius Arch during a beautiful Mojave evening? It's moments like this that can lift your spirits, even when things are stressful or you are in pain. This is Comet C/2023 A3 as seen on 22 October 2024 from Alabama Hills in Owens Valley, CA, near the Sierra Nevadas. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light capable of producing different colors, and illuminated the scene. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting." Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images.

To my dear Flickr friends, Chinese or non-Chinese, wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. Traditionally, Chinese family and friends will get together to admire the bright mid-autumn moon, and eat moon cakes.
07. 06. 2023. This is one of the little church lanterns which standing in the building. St Michael and All Angels Church, in Llanmihangel. Wales, Vale of Glamorgan, UK. I took this photograph on the 7th of June when visited the church.
I bought six gorgeous paper lanterns the other day, don't ask me why, I have no idea. They are soft floral colours and don't match anything in my house. Well....at least they fold down flat.
I built this lantern using 36 of the black ‘banana gears’ and 4, 32-stud long rigid hose pieces to form the skeleton. 64 door panels in trans-neon orange form the ‘glass’ for the lantern. There’s an additional structure inside and between the panels to hold everything in the right place. A UV lamp is used to get the glowing effect.
This is only temporarily a lantern as it was actually built to be part of a larger MOC. Can anyone guess what it will become?

Last evening I went for a walk to capture a photo for the Trevor Carpenter Photo Challenge, "When Halloween Was Cancelled". When I saw this lawn ornament, I walked up to this great looking character but jumped out of my skin when my approach activated him. He started swinging his lantern that suddenly lit up and his left arm that held a long rifle. He began talking in a deep spooky voice as his eyes went from green to a creepy golden yellow.
I am so glad that Halloween was not cancelled at this house.
Pumpkins carved. The Rise of the Jack O Lantern inspired me to try lot of new things.
- Shaving the skin off so the yellow glows through
- Using a electric jig saw. Now why I for the life of Bryan I did not try this sooner I do not know. Made it soooo much easier. The cuts were cleaner to.
Thanks for visiting comments and critiques always welcome!
