Default HOLY LIGHT TRAILS BATMAN(or BATWOMAN)

So I was playing with an idea I had, to make a spiral graph out of light trails. They turned out pretty cool for my first try. But I have a few changes to make, to be able to get different looks. Need to upgrade the hanger, lower the tripod, and add a diffuser to flash light. But all and all for the first try I think it turned out pretty well. Any suggestion you may have are completely welcomed.





Rotating light trail

celindrical light trails

twisted light trails

Looks pretty good. I've been thinking of trying this myself after seeing someone else's thread where they did this. What about using different coloured lights. A normal flashlight's colour can be changed even using something as simple as a small balloon over the end and even act as a diffuser. It might make this kind of shot a little more interesting/dynamic.

Ella1267- Thank you for the comment. While I was taking the pictures I was thinking about way to make them a little more interesting.

ressalg- Thank you for the suggestion, I was thinking the same thing. I'm using a small led flashlight, so I was thinking I might try and use colored tissue paper.

Thank you for taking the time to write a comment, my last 3 post haven't gotten any attention. I was starting to think that I had or are doing something wrong.

These shots turned out very well. The second image looks so much like the inside shielding of some cabling that if I saw it alone without an explanation I would guess that's what it is. The pattern is a perfect representation.

fdcpr thank you for the comment. When I saw the way it turned out I thought the same thing or a chines finger trap.
