Amy, Miles and I did some experiments with flashlights and a laser pen recently, drawing in the air in the kitchen with 6-second timed exposures. Unfortunately Amy’s camera didn’t have a CF card inserted, so we were able to save only a few of them done with my dinky point-and-shoot (I actually didn’t realize my SD1100 was even capable of doing timed exposures until that evening).
Dig my little Volkswagen? Would like to play with this technique more one day – great possibilities.
I thought it was Homer Simpson’s head!
I thought it was Homer too.
Homer! LOL, I never would have thought of that in a million yrs. But you’re both right, it does look like that.
no….I thought it was Gandhi…you being you and all….
I tried Gandhi but the spinning wheel was too hard to do in 6 seconds.
Second vote for Gandhi. Our family used to have fun with light-pictures using fireworks sparklers and the camera sitting on a tripod and set up for time exposures. We got quite good at signing our names and creating amazing abstracts.
