Light words

[BylLuvaul]

Have you guys ever lowered the shutter speeds (i think thats what its called) on your cameras and taken a picture of a light and tried to make it like a word or shape or something like that ? Its kinda hard to explain ... but i did and it looks cool so here are some pictures .You guys might think this is dumb ... but i think it is pretty cool ! http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/4160/smallstar.jpg

Missed this thread, thanks Andy for responding to it.

BL, I tried it one night, but nearly as effectively as you. I shot the reflection from a dusty mirror, which explains the odd finish to the shot.
