What’s Your Preference?

I took this pic with my 35mm slr set on open shutter for aprox. 20 seconds. I had all the lights off and ahd my camera propped up on a table to reduce shake. I had my pregnant friend's husband stand behind her with a pen light and rotate it from behind her to infront using different sized circles. When I got it developed, I had to go in and photoshop her belly a little because her breathing made several different lines. I love this picture!! If you want me to post the original before the photoshop (I use a combination of GIMP and picnik -www.picnik.com, love it!) just let me know. I hope you enjoy!!!

That's a pretty cool shot. I've been wanting to experiment with light painting...and my wife is 7 months pregnant, maybe I'll give this a shot.

Light painting is very fun. I think you did something unique that hasn't been done before. I like the fact that the pregnancy is implied, because you can't see it too.
