 Fun with lasers!!
As the details state, there can be no image captured without light.

I closed up my room, turned out the lights and drove my cat completely insane for about 5 minutes!
Hope you like the photo.

I shot in bulb for a few shots but found the delayed shutter was the way to go. It was a fun surprise to see what came out!

No editing was done except for the border and re-sizing for post

Thanks for the votes and comments ahead of time!

(it looks very blurry due to the re-size)

thanks for the comments everyone.

It just popped into my head when thinking about the lighting challenge. I wasn't expecting to get a high rank. It was my first attempt at something like this and fun to open my mind to new things!!

The use of light is the purpose (hence "LIGHTING") I feel more people are failing to understand the actual PURPOSE of these challenges and actually taking the time to read and understand what the rules are. I feel this photo IDEA it self fails to fall short of the rules and using and capturing LIGHT in a CREATIVE way. Thanks Teafran for the comment but I think you fail to understand the challenge rules

A good entry into the challenge, it falls just short of demonstrating the use of light for a purpose.

Manufactured light in a dark setting - long exposure that isn't quite as crisp as one would expect. The overuse of dark space detracts from the laser image and the red frame creates some confusion in viewing. A good entry into the challenge, it falls just short of demonstrating the use of light for a purpose.

Maybe not the nicest photo technically, but certainly 100% to the topic. So good work!
