Tree lights, half a second, one slightly overtired photographer with nothing better to do than pace the house and play games (because everyone else was asleep, doggone it).

@Linerberry: Liners, I'm kind of in stagger mode, not quite getting sleepy enough so I stay up and do foolish things like type when I can't quite see straight. Maybe I should give the futon a second chance> :)
jamesy from christchurch, New Zealand
Interesting effect Nancy. Why aren't you in bed too. Presently I am waiting up for my hubbie to come home with my youngest from the medical centre after a skateboarding accident

@jamesy: Oh, no! I hope he's okay, Debbie! I don't know why I've been having trouble sleeping, but I've been up until about 3am, lately.
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

@Lorraine: It was fun seeing how many different ways I could move the camera really fast, but they were already strung on the tree. The untangling from branches is to come. Thanks, Rainy!
@grouser: Thank you, Sir Grousalot.
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Fascinating light patterns ... while others slept!

@Judy: Thanks. And, I didn't even disturb the sleeping family members with "Woo-hoo!" noises, in spite of the fact that I was having such fun. LOL
Pixim from Nice, France
It is a successful play which you practised. Of an excellent photographic quality, your photograph becomes excellent in table of luminous lines with a kinematics of most beautiful effect Bravo ;)

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
I know what you mean and similar shots often result in my home.... This one turned out great... very interesting patterns you created.

@Earnest: LOL! It's good to know I'm not alone in such things! Thank you! I had fun. The file is quite dizzying. :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
That was a smart idea, I just love those light trails, and great quality to the composition of trails too.

@Richard_Irwin: Thank you! I did some unfocused trails, also. I thought it looked a bit better when I focused on the lights before "painting".
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
Thanks for visiting my site... and thanks for the laugh... sounds like something I would do when I am wide awake... what? were you on a sugar high or something? hahaha

@Fliss: I probably was, but I don't remember! I just recall not being able to sleep and thinking, "Well, while I'm up, I might as well have some fun." LOL Thanks for visiting me, too, Fliss!
Jeffster from Long Island, United States
Brilliant (literally) & creative. Nothing like a little sleep deprevation to spark the imagination.

@Jeffster: I ought to be really creative then, because I am seriously sleep-deprived. LOL Thanks!
bisha from Saitama, Japan
LOL. Fun effect! I have quite the mental image of you roaming around your house with your camera in the dead of night. ;)
