This is an interesting photo Jeff and one that I suspect is a composite. With a 60 sec exposure that reveals that much ambient light, it should have revealed you making the orb. #1547119

Hate to burst your bubble, Dale, but this not a composite.

Here's the image, straight out of camera. . . . #10863004

Dale Hardin October 05, 2013

So with that much light why is there no indication of you or your shadow? #10863031

Jeff E Jensen October 05, 2013

Because I didn't stop moving, so the ambient light washes any of it out.

I am flattered that you think my photoshop skills are that good :o) #10863052

My congrats on a job well done old friend. #10863136

Very nice Jeff! I love the star bursts especially the one at the top of the Empire State Building and the bit of cloud lit by the city lights. Did you have help or just do this on your own utilizing a tripod? #10863162

Jeff E Jensen October 05, 2013

Thanks, Dale and Mike!

Mike - I was with one of my reps. He guarded the cameras while I did the painting. #10863376

this is very cool Jeff, how did you get away with doing this in the city. yes I would have thought you would need someone to watch your camera while you were doing it. great shot love all the sun burst through out the image. #10863800

Very nice Jeff! Now it really would have been impressive had you gotten away with using steel wool!!! Probably wouldn't have gone over well, though...

It was no big deal to do this in the city. The biggest challenge was keeping people from running into my orb. I about smacked a couple of drunk guys.

Elaine - we just about talked ourselves into picking up some steel wool. We'll be back there in two weeks, who knows what will happen! #10863961

Elaine Hessler October 06, 2013

Don't get into too much trouble! #10864243

it always amazes me what you find to entertain yourself just curious what time was this? #10864696

Jeff E Jensen October 07, 2013

Oh, it wasn't too late, I was back to my hotel by midnight. #10864704

That's a very cool shot, Jeff! #10866170
