Photographer’s Notes The subject, set-up and lighting came to me in a flash about 4 hours before rollover. I shot it, processed it, and uploaded it start to finish in about 2 hours. I teach at University and I have a pen with a laser pointer. It also has a tiny LED in it. This was taken in the dark and illuminated only with the tiny LED in my pen.
The stars were serendipitous and resulted from the long exposure small aperture.
Don’t know how this one will fare. It is very different from anything I’ve shot before and different from anything I’ve seen on DPC. Maybe the novelty will attract voters?

"I'll take brilliant ideas thought of too late, Alex, for $2000."
I should have titled this "Clippy On Drugs."
