Description


I played with a series of these in 2004 when I learned how to do it.
Christmas tree in dark room, camera turned CCW, shutter delay while zooming.
This is more fun than fireworks because you can control the results.
Canon 28-135mm. Entered "EofD", "CA" on 11/16 then "DD" on 11/25.

I am taken back by your photo gallery. I had thought to answer you at your Grim Reaper photo but figured we'd be back to the ink blot thing! (ha!)

I cant even begin to express my feelings about your talent. It's IMMENSE. I may never be at your level but I throughly enjoyed looking at yours'! Wow! Steven. It must be gratifying to have so many satisfying turn outs.

Thank you so much for your contribution to us all, and thank you for coming to my little gallery and being so kind to me. I won't forget you.
