Missed this in the votes - only 5.8? Guess it's not colourful enough for the masses...

Great shout with unjustified score.

Gordon, this shot is great! A well deserved first place ribbon. Although your setup was fairly simple, this shot has a real magical quality to it. The title is also very fitting. Congrats!

Gordon, I have to ask about the 'snood'? Is this something you fabricated to control the beam of light from the maglite? Something maybe to concentrate the beam?


First, its a small maglite - lens end is probably about 1 - 2cm across. I used a 3 inch square piece of aluminium foil and wrapped it around the end of the maglite, so you have a tube leading away from the bulb, projecting out about 2 inches. Then you can scrunch and flatten the foil in any way you like. I used this to create a oval 'brush' that was thin and wide, and some of the back scatter from the foil also gives the harder edges on the brush strokes.

It takes a bit of playing to get used to the 'brush' stroke you need to use, this is where the digital feedback is invaluable - try something, check how it looks, try again.

If it isn't exposed enough, use the brush more 'heavily' (linger, go over areas multiple times, change the lens focus, open up the foil) or increase the exposure/ decrease the aperture/ change the ISO
