Middle engine orb and self

I really tried to get the spiral tight with the orb, this is as good as it got, trying to get the orb, the spiral and the silhouette all working together so the silhouette wasn't obscured was tricky enough.

Orbing and waving and tilting, interrupted by passersby, didn't affect the shot.

I also learned a valuable lesson, don't set your camera up in the middle of a cyclepath in a dark tunnel, else when the fella on the bike comes along, head down, no lights, it's a close call to jump back and grab the tripod to avoid calamity. So best not put in in the middle eh? Off to one side is fine.

It's been a while since I did a proper orby-orb, with all spinning and stuff, so I made a proper orb making device and stuffed as many bright LEDs on it as was immediately feasible. So it works quite well at narrow apertures, which will make it possible to orb in places with a bit of ambient light.

I overexposed this one trying out higher ISOs, so did a RAW conversion to darken things down a bit.

Straight out of the camera faffing in the kitchen. I had to completely re-arrange the room to make space.

My in-laws are getting a new door, so they gave me back this copperfoiled glass I made for them a few years ago, it's till in the door, as I'm hoping to be able to re-jig it a bit to fit in our house.

An underpass that will probably get lights at some point, so it seemed worthwhile taking the opportunity to do a quick session before that happens.
