 Pure Accident that I got the idea for this kind of shot. I was out trying out the new camera at night when I tested the bulb exposure setting and saw what it did to these Christmas lights lining a window. A few shots later I was happy.

Nice rhythm and patterns here, and I like the contrast between the light and the background.

really like the painting, but I think giving so much away in the title detracts from how engaging this actually could be, it leaves nothing to the imagination.

Beautiful! But, it doesn't seem 'blurry' to me...
