Reminds me of drawing with a spirograph :)

Spirograph with light. Nice.

Fun! I have no idea how you got the gyroscope effect...
06/26/2006 09:34:58 PM

nice geometric pattern. the use of a sparkler instead of a flashlight or LED light adds an element of chaos which i like. looks rough around the edges. 8.

Nice job I like this one.
06/25/2006 06:57:19 AM
Clever idea...

Beautiful geometric pattern formed by this light show. Cool concept for this challenge and quite original.
06/24/2006 05:59:55 PM
Great job on creating the pattern. Well done!

how did you get it without seeing a person neat photo
06/24/2006 12:34:30 AM
sorry, this genre of trick shot doesn't do much for me.
06/23/2006 11:54:26 PM
i wish your pattern was a bit tighter so none of it extended outside of the frame, as it makes it feel a bit messy to me.

How neat!!!!!!!!! I love it :-)
06/23/2006 10:25:55 AM
Great shot. No color cast and great detail. Sharpness like this is difficult to obtain in a long exposure like this. Well done.
06/22/2006 09:16:12 PM
How on earth did you get such a great pattern? Very impressive and fun shot. Back to bump you up.
06/22/2006 08:53:43 PM
A great shot! The tragectories are great, well done indeed!
06/22/2006 08:43:45 PM
Sweet! great shot!
06/21/2006 09:05:31 PM
It's too busy for me - but a great idea that is worth exploring more
06/21/2006 08:09:55 PM
Love this!! Sparklers are so much fun!
06/21/2006 11:44:56 AM
Whoa! Great job!!!! I love it.
06/21/2006 07:17:49 AM
howd u make it so perfect?
06/21/2006 07:12:45 AM
A human spirograph? How did you get the lines so consistent?
06/21/2006 04:30:53 AM
Spyrogyra sparklet, great patterns
06/21/2006 12:59:45 AM
Cool. Must have been fun shooting.

I am going to guess that there is more work that was done on this than it looks like... The edging on the sparks looks a little different than what I expected. Further, the placement of the center of the event, plus the alignment, while it may have been unplanned, looks really cool to give a slight chaotic effect.

Neat pic...

I would have desaturated the blue and green channel to get rid of the odd stuff in the far left of the pic.
