    Maureen, This looks like a liquify treatment. Very cool. Can you share more about how you created this? You are one creative girl!

    Nikon D3s
    24-70mm f/2.8 @ 38mm
    ISO 400
    f/5.6
    10 sec
    Manual mode

    Post processing: CS5/Distort/Twirl -60, Topaz adjust

    The image was made using 2 glow sticks in a darkened room. Basically you just hit the shutter, run to a designated spot in front of the camera and move the glow sticks around in a repetitive pattern. Moving the glow sticks at different angles and varying speeds produces interesting effects. One thing I found was that the glow sticks I was using are really too bright when you first activate them. If you wait a few hours, they dim a bit. I tried doing this outside first, but found there was too much ambient light in my backyard.

    You are both creative and energetic, and you seem to have a lot of fun! I really like the flow and proportions to this. A super abstract!

    Maureen,

    I have often found light painting spare and contrived. This, however is luscious and full of movement. Excellent!

    Maureen, this is very creative and artistic! Non photographers might have a hard time believing that this was created with a camera.

    What a great idea for those used glow sticks the children leave about. I would never have thought of it and it is a lovely result.
