My Light Spirals

I had a go at making some light spirals using a torch on a string of rubber bands hanging from a light fitting in a darkened room. I really like the way this turned out but as it was daylight outside it was slightly too light to make long enough exposures. These are some of the photos from the shoot.

These initial photos are a little too shaky and are not very defined, the background is slightly too exposed as well.

This photo is over exposed as the ceiling and lights are visible.

With these photos I attached a laser pointer to the torch but this didn't have the affect I was expecting.

This one was taken just using the laser, it is more obvious but the room was too light to make a long enough exposure

With these photo's I moved the camera as well as the torch, I like the sporadic effect. I also like the way the torch seems to have several stripes.

With this one I attached an orange plastic bag over the torch to give it a different look. The light has become much softer as a result.

I used a piece of black card to cover the lens as I took the bag off the torch. I also used the laser pointer which I aimed at the lens.

With these last photos I pointed the laser at the ceiling. This produced a much clearer red line.
