Albert - Thank you for your kind comment.
The shot was lit from above by some kind of track lighting in the window display (at night). The motion that you see was entirely the product of camera motion.
All of my luxagraphic photographs involve camera motion (sometimes also subject motion), and I work to avoid doing any unnecessary PS work on any of them.

Hello James,
I like this interesting attention catching image. Strong in movement and lines. Very nice transformation. Compliments.
Did you work with available light and moving, or other important influences ?

Hi James, your abstract images are very fascinating, I was thinking about light painting, which is somewhat my impression here. Keep on shooting and thanks for the recent comment, Cary

Marija - It does look like a tulip. Maybe next spring I can go to the tulip festival up north of here and take some shots in those fields.
I have no choice but to let my camera choose the settings. It's a point-and-shoot. Soon I hope to have dSLR, but until then this is it. I do fool it by pulling the exposure by two stops and other little tricks. Even still I think its slowest shutter speed is maybe 2 seconds (maybe less).
Thanks. See you.

Oh yes, I wanted to ask you: Do you choose your shutter speed or you let the camera do it for you?

so this is the part where the murderer strikes the victim and the second photo is the part where the murderer leaves the scene. the green light could be the weapon. theres also something at the bottom of the green light which looks like the foot of the murderer. thats how i see it anyway. and...the butler did it! you could smash the bowl, but you'll have to pay for it:)...

Did you have a look at the second part of the story:

I'd like to make it a murder mystery, but I don't think they'll let me smash the bowl.

great result, not too much movement and a good emphasis on the objects before the camera movement.

Thanks, Tuna. tba means To Be Announced. I say that (or Coming Soon) when I haven't yet decided upon an appropriate title. It'll come to me at some point. Then I'll put its real title up.
