Default Slow Shutter

So, I decided to experiment with some slow shutter ideas that my friend and I were discussing a couple months ago and ended up producing this image back in March. I got my camera (Nikon D3000) about 8 months ago... Let me know what you think!
Oh, I put the camera on my tripod and went in a room without windows, turned off the lights and set it to about a 15 second delay. Let the light from my flashlight expose my face once, turn it off, and change to a different position. Only changed it to black and white as far as editing goes. I think it's pretty neat!

cool idea, but it's noisy as hell. Does you camera have long-exposure noise reduction?

I really like it!

How long did you have the flashlight on for?

(agree with the previous post about the noise though...)
