If anyone thinks that this image is out of focus, you need glasses. I took a tape measurer, and measured the distance from the light bulb to the back of the lens. I did this every time I moved the bulb, or the camera to make damn sure it was in focus.

RAW=Levels, WB, crop

PS= Tone Mapped, reduce, usm,save for web.

Tried a crap load of times, exactly 2 days, averaged five hours per day, and 349 shots later, before I got what I thought I was after.

Why so many shot you ask? Because I can I reply.

I had several lights to play with, including a hand held laser. Until I realized that simplicity was the mother of a great photo. Not that this is a great image, but, the common denominator to a great image is simplicity.

Had a Circ. Pola. on the lens.

Not sure why the title but I like the thin lines but not the top thick one

i like the exposure on the light bulp but there is almost too much 'light painting' going on - greens, blues, whites, golds - sometimes less is more

Nice capture - Love the green and blue look - Would make a nice print. Just think the blacks need a little more punch.
