BLUE LIGHTS

A LITTLE EXPERIMENT I DID WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS BLUETOOTH HEADSET AND A LONG EXPOSURE.

Nobody has anything to say then :(

Very creative! Photography isn't always shooting a typical scene. Nicely done.

I'm kind of biased on blue... My favorite color. :)

#2 and #3 are really cool, I bet they'd make awesome desktop wallpapers, or even framed prints side by side on a wall.

couldnt have chosen a better color! blue really seems to pop! I agree these would maek a nice side by side pics on the wall. But I would tyr to get more variety but saem intesity of colors.

I agree about the range of colours I am going to have to try and find a red one aswell. Will keep you updated!

Could you explain your setup and what settings you used. Cool photos

Ok it was taken in my bathroom as it has no natural light to get in :( then i set the camera up on a tripod and set it to the TV mode, I focused on the back wall with the bathroom light on. I thenexperimented with various shutter speeds to experiment and had it on ISO 1600. Then using the timer just waited and did some random movements with the bluetooth headset. To get the thicker lines I moved closer to the lens.

Hope this helps!

I can't help it, I'm partial to the blue. But that first red shot is kinda cool.

Do you have access to a green light? Might be interesting to do a set of Red, Green and Blue (RGB) with somehow similar or evolving patterns... If not, you could use a sharp white light (single LED flashlight perhaps?) and use PS to change the color to whatever you want with a hue rotation...

[penfolduk]

Dont think I up to that in PS! and I had to use my bike lights to get those red ones. Unfortunately the lights were so bright i had to cover 4 of the LED's because it was too bright and showed up the whole bathroom, but it gave some excellent light trails with the 5 lights!

I agree a green light trail would be cool also.

I agree some gree woudl add. I know we are probably digign to much on these now, but another idea, is keep the shutter speeds the same so that the lights appear in the pics relatively the same intesity. it just seems like there is soo much blue, then there is red in the other photos, jsut a idea.

these really did come out good though!

I've tried this before myself, not with as much success as you though. Very cool.

In the first three shots, I really like the middle one. Very creative!
