Me and my friend were just playing around with light painting in my basement. We didn't think we got any good ones but one came out alright.
I went back down to my basement a couple of days later to see if I could perfect this method. I think I came up with a few good ones. Hopefully this one will do well.
This was done using a little LED keylight. Background is a peice of white poster-board.
I held the keychain LED above the glass and waved it around for 6 revolutions, maybe 3 seconds. Then I faced the LED light toward the camera and made some funky waves like you see. It took about 16 shots to get the one I wanted.

This is my first picture with my 50mm 1.4D. I really like the lens.
Also, I really wish I could have removed the sensor dust before I took this photo. I hope it doesn't get panned for that. If anyone knows of a good sensor cleaning kit that works well that would be greatly appreciated.
POST: Thanks for all the comments and my second highest score!
