That's bloody good!! How you do it?!

Nice job. I have some garden sparkler pictures from a few years ago with the same idea.

The reflections off the glass surfaces is what makes the shot for me.

Torch bulb on a stick?

6 sec f22 and my shiny new tripod

used my maglite without the top on for these, and tried lots of times before i got the reflection and camera both in the pic with the light in the right place.

also... just realised it's a nikon shooting a canon

Great inventive stuff - plenty of alternatives to being outside taking when its cold, grey & wet outside !

Should be the other way around, surerly.

Nice shot all the same.

I love this sort of thing, nicely done! :thumbs:

I remember one a while ago on another forum

where the chap did it with shoelaces on a pair of boots, very well executed.
I've since been unable to find it though.

Was it this one Marcel?

Hehe unfortunately not Matt. But quite similar.

It was a pair of boots (or shoes, I forget), and the laces had been removed, I'm sure of it, and repainted in, in a very similar vein to that one. So that one is very very close.

Incidentally, I did try googling for it before. Normally my google-wu is strong, but unfortunately it's too vague to find without dedicating some time to it.
If I get the time this weekend Im going to find it, it will NOT beat me...lol
BTW. While googling, I found the exact shot above posted on some other photography competition site (forget the name).

Cool

I like the reflection. Its a nice touch on this subject.

Agro · 03-11-2005, 17:24

I really like this shot, super! Totally agree with petemc, the reflection is a great added element of the shot.
