11th - The Red Fan

In a Closet, Huntsville, TX.

I sweated my butt off sitting in a dark closet for 30 minutes taking this picture.
The red light came from a flashlight shining through a Japanese kimono that my lady
friend got as a gift. I took about a 20 second exposure and shined the light on the
fan. If you look closely you can see the back wire through the fan blades. That's
because I kept turning the fan on and off during the exposure. I think it came out
pretty good. Let me know what you think.

Very creative shot. Thanks for posting the how-to details.

Very interesting picture! I bet you were sweating pretty badly in that closet too.
I also agree with Stefani about you calling her your 'lady friend'. How about better-half or girl friend?

I like it very much, great idea with the light to make something simple more interesting.

If you've seen one red fan you've seen them all

It's strong but delicate - very inventive!

Please refer to me as something else other than your "lady friend".... Great picture by the way. Very very interesting.
