An example of field lights cycling.

I was going through my stuff from Friday night and found this image with a reflection of a set of lights showing the lights glowing and what is meant by lights cycling during an evening... Let me know if I am wrong.. You can see the various stages of the lights brightness and how they glow.. There is not a light pole that high on the right at this stadium trust me... The lights at this field where nice but they still gave you a fit with different exposure on several sequential shots..

Cycling lights usually refers to a light whose color temperature fluctuates. An example would be three shots all with different white balance.

I was thinking the different temperature of the lights in the reflection on the right would show what causes that. Did not mean to word it incorrectly..

I believe that's just a form of lens flare my friend.

Cycling lights (indoors and outside) look something like this.

This was taken in a small rink, and about one second elapsed between first and last frame of the sequence. I set a CWB'ed and figured that some of the frames would be the correct (two in that sequence!)
