Just that.....using only a torch. I turned all the lights out and took a series of 4 second shots, lighting the bottle from various angles - backlit, from the side, from above etc. The light trail was done by removing the lens of the torch to reveal the bare bulb and swirling it round the bottle. Because of the long exposure, as long as you keep moving, you don't see the hand.
