Creativity is seldom rewarded, because the average person does not understand and cannot see anything but what lies before their nose. Your work is simple, yet elegant. I, for one, appreciate the thought behind the work almost as much as the work itself. Don't be discouraged because of others lack of creative processes. Continue and let those of us that appreciate what you do enjoy. :-)JG

Thanks everybody for you comments. To be honest, I haven't heard the song either ;). I took the photo first and searched for a title later.
To make the photo I wrapped a pen light with a black fabric so that only the lighted tip was showing, then I placed a blue glass marble on top of the tip. I placed my camera in a tripod and set a exposure of 15 seconds. I exposed the ball for 5 seconds to create the head of the comet and then slowly started panning to create the tail.

haven't heard that song, but will look it up, bet it's cool. makes me think of jimi hendrix' third stone from the sun.

this is cool, but i have no idea what it is, and actually when i first saw this i thought it was some sort of phallic symbol

Decent attempt at making a comet. Does a better job in the thumbnail, but still good attempt. PTL 5

Neat, but dim photo. (What is it?) Sorry, I don't recall the song, but I'll take your word for it. Lots of negative space. (Wish I could make out what this is....I think it might be really, really cool.) 5 Swash

How did you do this? I don't know the title, nevermind, like your pic for it makes me ask... looks interesting! Good luck, Martina - 8 - KAOS ;o)

This is very interesting for it does look like a comet, yet cannot be one. The black contrasted with the bright blue make it look mysterious. 8.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo
