So, eventually I got up and began walking home...feeling refreshed but with nothing to show for it. While taking pictures of the sky, I had set my camera for a long exposure time of 3 seconds

(exposure time??? - this is the length of time the shutter stays open). As the sky grew dark, I walked home with my camera in my hand, hanging loosely at my side. I randomly decided to snap the shutter and see what would happen. As luck would have it, some bicyclists with lights were riding by at just that time and I got some cool light burn (Side note!!! - If you set your camera for a long exposure time and point it at the street at night, you will find that the cars disappear, but the lights are bright enough to burn into the image). Obviously, I then decided it would be not only awesome, but ESSENTIAL FOR ALL HUMANITY, that I continue taking shots while waving my camera frantically about dancing in circles like the crazy person that I am. (Side note - bacon...sorry, I'm hungry...you know you want some right now). These images are the results of what was at first an accident. However, through experimentation I was able to choreograph the lights a little bit (though definitely leaving room for surprises!)

Final note - None of these images have been modified in any way shape or form...whether by digital manipulation or haphazard wizardry. Enjoy. (Oh, and for more of them, check out my facebook page!)
