Light painting, or how I spent Earth Hour


Lights off from 830 to 930 pm last March 27 for Earth Hour. I could only take ghostly images like this.


So with one hand on the camera, I took my laptop charger and fiddled with it a little. I only had a vague idea of the principles behind light painting, so I had to experiment a bit.

I ended up with a terrible headache, but I think it was worth the trouble.

    wrote the words separately, in the normal orientation. the only editing is saving them all together in one image. :)
