A tribute to The Lady in Red
by Seeker, who also gave me advice on how to deal with the background and elimination of stray lights.
Seeker states in his comments that lasers are difficult to control. I realized that I wouldn't be able to get precise streaks if I handheld the laser, so I invented a little device which made painting more regular.

Thanks for the comments and votes. Here's the little secret: I glued the laser to the centre of a handheld fan, so the laser's point would rotate in a smooth circle.

Congrats on your ribbon - highly deserved with this most interesting shot! Now, if only you'll hold out on your ribbon-winning ways for a week while we play your team in DPL :-)
A beautiful piece of art - irt's existentialism is remarkable alongside its juxtaposition within the realms of aesthetic visual alignment in a very real sense. Its presence in a hall of fame would be further justified for its inclusion in a gallery of esteemed works.
You pulled it off! I've so badly wanted to do a shot like this (Seeker's shot has bee in my faves for a long time), but my own experiments showed what you mention - that painting parallel lines is very, very hard. Can you describe your invention a little more?
Congrats on the ribbon and executing this so well!
Interesting image ... appears that model is lit with light filtering through something like a venetian blind rather than with a handheld moving light source, but still an interesting graphic effect.
Blue Lady
