Orbs
To spin with gossamer or with light
Is a cold weaving at dewfall, when
The spinneret drips with imprisoned
Spheres of condensation, even as
The silk is being combed outwards,
And the bright spectrum is blurred
By a concatenation of mists. Ghosts
Are unnecessary: the whole place
Is a haze of emanations, and the web
Weighs heavy half-extruded, encumbered
By globes of water, strung with flares,
The light wearing moisture like a cowl,
Bowing its lucent head in nimbus-
Gilded prayer. The threads of light
Spire inwards, as the spider whorls
Towards the centre, as though seeking
Some seared nadir of homespun, and love
Blazes forth in the gleaming orb of water.
Poem by Giles Watson, 2012.
Back to one of my favorite spots to spin an orb under an "almost" full moon.
SOC, only adjusted sharpness and cropped.
One of the original pictures from the light orb first outing. Taken a small crop to give a slightly more pleasing composition (in my opinion!!). I love the light orb now he's getting out and about. Where to next!!!

Another experiment, this time in light painting. Looks like a large ball of wool more than a light orb (with horizontal axis). :-(
Unfortunately I can't remember where I saw such attempt first and who did it. Can you help? Must have been in February or March this year. Can't find it any more. (UPDATE: Solved! See below!)
Anyway, as soon as I find the time I will practice... ;-)
Ball Of Light Tool from Denis Smith being spun at the wedding platform at Now Larimar, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
I like to think the technique and light source has improved, i now need to add a little colour. However i think the white works ok in this capture.
Straight out of the camera, with blue-O-vision custom white balance.
I tried to put a couple of smaller orbs in the background, but there was a bloody PIR sensor that kept setting off a floodlight. So the orb stayed solo.
first attempt at the light orb.
