Default Night frisbee shots...

Hello all.
These are a couple shots from my friend and I playing frisbee at night with a frisbee I have which has lights in it (very cool thing to have.)
I would like any feed back atall for these as we are going to take more similar ones and I would like to know how I can improve them.

Anyhoo, here are the pictures:




p.s I hope these pictures show up for everyone else. If not, tell me and I will fix them.

Hi,
Interesting challenge to get some images from an illuminated frisbee. As shown they need a little more context. Perhaps you could combine several tracings into one image. Or try handholding the frisbee and tracing one of your friends in an outline form as you did in one of your flickr images. In reviewing your portfolio I see you arte interested in experimenting with long exposures. I encourage you to keep at it as it will open up a whole new area of photography. For some starters, try aiming your camera at the North Star. I don't know how long you can keep the lens open but the resulting star tracings can be very interesting. Another trick is to shoot a busy street scene of people (daytime, no car lights) and using neutral density filters, go for the longest time you can achieve proper exposure. The people walking through the scene will disappear. many years ago I was on acommercial shoot with a photographer who was using an 8X10 view camera. He was shooting transparencies of a building at night. During the time exposure of about a minute, a small boy decided to ride his bicycle in front of the building. The photographer jokingly said, "I just hope he keeps moving." He did and never showed up in the image.

I think the idea is interesting, but there isn't too much to each image. I agree with clockdoc about getting some more light into them. Can you throw several Frisbees at once?
