Light Spirals

I found a fun project on DPS. Hang a small flashlight from a string and let it swing while the camera is in bulb mode.

If you collect cellophane sweet wrappers, put over the lens at intervals, goes multi coloured!!

That is brilliant fun, I would never have thought of doing this. I like @30pics4jackiesdiamond 's idea too.

@casablanca make sure swinging torch well secured- could cause major damage to lens and and filter when drops off!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @casablanca I was looking for some ways to create colored light. So far, I haven't found anything that works well. I did try some reflective materials, and a pinhole covering. The results were sort of mixed.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond It's a good point well made!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I just re-read your comment. I love your idea (other than not having the candy wrappers). I was thinking of sticking something on the pen light to change its color. That would lead to a different swinging pattern, which is OK and interesting. Your method can keep the same spiral going.
I'm going to search the house for something I can use.

@tdaug80 enjoy! Mind your fillings x
