My first light orb. Did it with one of those light sticks you just crack and then they light up! Very easy to do and it even comes with string. So much fun.

My ambition is handicapped by laziness.

So, my parents told me a lot when i was younger "Never meet anyone off the internet because they will turn out to men in their 30's!!"........And they were right, but at least i knew that from the start (Jeez, now i hope they aren't in their 20's, that could be offensive haha!)

Met up with www.flickr.com/photos/allanengland/ and www.flickr.com/photos/fellwalker1/ for my first light painting session outside of my own house. Great night out (from about 19:00 til 23:15 i think!?), surprisingly warm but we were playing with fire and i didn't have to travel too far!

Great to meet you both, thanks to Allan for being very generous with his Magnesium and to Mike for some hints and tips!

The other orb was quite far in the distance, so wanted to do another one closer, and also for the time theme.

Light art is good fun.

I always enjoy spinning wool from height. You get the embers to fall further and it makes the spin look much more impressive.

Looks better large.

Trying out something other then orbs.

30 second exposure - ISO 100

I could not resist a quick test of my new orb spinning tool. I had fun turning the dominant light from white to red, by adjusting the power settings on the torches. It's all so easy and the spinner works very well.

Waiting for it to get a bit darker

just experimenting with a new light I got. Everyone should already know that is the Deathly Hallows symbol

Not the best ball but couldn't resist having a go while I was away with work :)

Just Orson chillin' by the lake with a tree. He was the only light source and was a little over-exposed in the darkroom...

It is a (poorly) scanned version of my print. I used 35mm Black & White Kodak TMAX ISO 400 film and a Canon AE-1 camera - then I darkroom printed it on glossy photo-paper.

finally got out to try some of these new orbs.

They are still not perfectly round but i will get there. Found this construction site when i drove by.

Tons of light orbs in the pumpkin patch. ooOOooOOo :)
