    Ahhhh, I've been out of the Picture for awhile, but this is one my favorites subjects! Here is my last attempt at playing with Light "Lasers in Fog".

    Looking forward to seeing this round, I will come up with something..... Keith

    It's so Christmasy with the red and green colors! :) I don't have any laser lights like that, but I used computer generated lights.

    I wasn't going to do this one because it is really beyond my skills. But then I saw a night light in the hall and had an idea. It's not exactly what I think you had in mind I think, but it sort of looks like some of the pictures you listed. What I did was use the camera set as it was for the LAST challenge (dark) and go into the bathroom with no lights on, and aim at the little green light on my toothbrush that was charging and try to write my name by moving the camera. It came out more like a flower than a signature, but that's OK. Little baby steps.

    Good for you! That is the point of these challenges. To have you try something new that you never would have thought to try on your own, using the equipment you have. Kudos! thumb.gif

    There are so many ways of 'painting with light' such as this steel rose I photographed for a friend popping a flash 360 degrees around it at two levels..... (a few shots layer blended)

    Or a method I played with several years ago walking through a laser level light toward the camera acting as a full scale scanner... rolleyes1.gif

    With questions of interpretation, hopefully I've chosen the appropriate methods. mwink.gif joke... Will be late tomorrow before I get a chance to display. Painting with light in any way is always fun! thumb.gif

    Not sure if my last minute entry will count as the time of the photo taken is in Eastern time, which is 3 hours difference. Exif does not show time zones... Has this been discussed before?
