That shot is brilliant, love the effect of the lights.
It is nearly perfect but I think there are a couple of things that detract from the photo though. You've chopped off the top of the circle and the shelf (??) you've left the cam on is in the shot. I think you need to buy yourself a tripod! Or re-take the shot with the cam on the edge of the shelf so that it is not in view. I'd give the current photo 9/10 as it is, would be 10/10 if you re-did it... Just a thought though.
paulc1 said:MRW, I really like the effect of the lights, it kinda reminds me of some that I've taken with sparklers on bonfire night, I think electrolyte is right about getting the whole circle of lights in the shot,..but regardless of that, I think it is a great shot.
well done m8
BTW, how come your missus, has time to mess around with lights etc, when there's washing on the maiden that needs putting away, or ironing?
(It's just a joke!!!), better get that in before I get into trouble,...anyway I'm off now to do the dishes .
great shot MRW.
That's fantastic!! Just one question - how did you do it?MRW said:

Thanks MRW, sounds really simple. I'll have to give it a try. Have to see if I can get a LED pen....MRW said:Simple really - even for a newbie to all of this!
Set the camera (Kodak LS753) on a chair, set the exposure to 4 seconds, set the self timer to 10 seconds, switched the lights off and wrote 'MRW' in the air, using one of those LED keyring things.
Then in Paint Shop Pro, I simply flipped the image, and that's it!
I also took this one (needs to be resized to something like 1024x768 or 800x600 to see the overall effect) which is currently my Windows desktop. I love the simplicity of it, and the glow on the carpet!
That's a cracking shot Adrenochrome, the best you've taken yet.Adrenochrome said:Another attempt at a close up.

Dozens of birds were sat on my car waiting for food - including some sat on the windscreen wipers.
