George's Laser Star by filsie65

George's Laser Star

When I was looking for lines a couple of weeks ago George set up his laser pointer (the one he teases Coco with!) stuck in a cardboard box opposite a mirror with a puff of talc. It produced a wonderful laser line but of course it was red... and my line wasn't! The reflection on the mirror was great though, and he did something mysterious with my camera that made it take a 'long exposure' ... I had no idea that my camera could do that and will pin him down to find out how! He is away with Cathy and his Dad just now but will be pleased to know I have used one of his creations in the monthly challenge!

Every month I have loved looking back on the calendar view - this month more than ever! It makes a wonderful pattern and I'm so grateful to Alia and Ann for thinking of it!

And thank you to everyone who viewed/commented on my thumbnail yesterday I love reading your comments and am glad I might have brought a smile!
Roll on August......!
Clever!

it's a great star - very effective.

He really did get a long exposure, according to the Exif, 15s - there'll be a setting somewhere, if I go by my daughter's camera (mine doesn't have it)

that's awesome and very creative! Can't believe you're almost done with your 365 (sigh). I think you've improved so much, especially in this last part of the project. Feels like you're enjoying it more now that a few months back.
