Blue Light Special

I was playing around with my husband's lazer pointer today. Set up a still life in the bathroom with no windows. Shut the door and took 15 second exposures using the two settings on his pointer - blue and red - to illuminate the glass we got in Prague and the two antique Bellingham soda bottles. This was my favorite of the shots I got.

Very nice effect. The composition and glow really work. -BJ

Very good approach and final effect! Innovative! I've been playing with different lights sources also. Good job though with the lasers!

Very nicely done. I've played with the same kind of pointer, but never managed to get anything really nice like this. I am going to have to try it again. Thanks. Voted.
