Light Ribbons

You'd probably never guess what this is- but go ahead- try!
Ha ha, look like my daughter's light up Lelli Kelli clip-on hair extensions! Super effect, whatever it is!! :-)

Very cool

Would that be looking out onto a highway at night with all the light trails?

@jesperani Thank you Jennifer- no sadly no light up toys for girls- my children are long grown and the grandchildren are not near by- but good guess!
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick- you're close.

Yes, I was going to say strands of hair braided together & then special effected with a few colours.

@mhatch Thanks Mark- not hair, but a good guess!
June 22nd, 2012  
After @jesperani was shot down, I can't begin to guess. Pretty ingenious of you whatever it is.
June 22nd, 2012  
I would have guessed hair ... I like the light and texture of the mystery subject!

Neon Unicorn hair?

Woven basket or shoe laces. LOL My brain is "fried!"

Optic fiber filiments.

I thought it was hair, too. So, I'm not sure....creative picture.
June 23rd, 2012

June 23rd, 2012

@mrssmith Thanks Carla!
@woot Thanks Davide!
@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi!

I promise to let you know tomorrow everyone. I think there's a few more who'll probably want to take a shot at guessing.
June 23rd, 2012  
I have no idea but I do like it.

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole!

Looks like the fibers are moving in a circular motion. Reminds me of a lamp made of fiber optic glass strands that constantly changed colors when the lamp was on.

@rhubbard Thanks Rich! Part of your guess is accurate- but not all of it!
June 23rd, 2012  
I was thinking on the same lines as Rich, Ann! But not sure. Love the colours and the sense of motion in the shot.
June 23rd, 2012  
Hair?
June 23rd, 2012  
@sangwann Thank you Dione!
@cimes1 Thanks Carole! No, not hair.

Drum roll please..... For those who guessed anything to do with light and highways- you came the closest. And I would love to post a shot of what this actually was, but I don't have one. So here's the story of how I took this shot:

Jeff and I were heading home from Cape May. Our route brings us through Philadelphia on I-676/76. It was about 9:30 pm as we came off the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. I was driving and to my left there was an office building all lit up in blue lights. A lower building had yellow street lamps placed around it. I quickly grabbed my camera, turned it on and thankfully the exit from the bridge was quite slow. I kept one hand on the wheel, braced the camera on my left shoulder and took two shots as we passed the building. I was pretty certain the camera was set too slow, so I didn't think I'd get anything at all- but both shots came out really interesting and this was the better of the two. So, it is light trials- and it is from a highway, but it's a building, not cars.

I was going to guess 'your new hat' but really I thought 'it kind of looks how the road looks when I'm driving...' !! Cool shot anyhow!

@filsie65 Thanks Phil!
June 23rd, 2012  
very creative, cool abstract

@wenbow Thanks Wendy- a successful experiment!
June 24th, 2012  
I would have tried guessing, but I'm a little late. I would have Never guessed lol! This is really neat :-)
June 24th, 2012  
@vposey Thanks Vickie! I didn't have an "answer" shot to post later, so I didn't want to keep people guessing. I never would have guessed when I shot it that it would end up looking like this!

Bev
Very cool light shot! I love it! But then, you know my forte so you can imagine that I'd love it!
June 25th, 2012  
@prttblues I knew you'd like it Bev- but it's nowhere near the artistry of your shots! Thanks!
