Glow

I like to count photography among my hobbies (I’d better; I’ve spent enough on it), but sometimes I have to remind myself to take pictures of something besides Samantha. Sometimes I just like to play around with the camera. Like in these pictures:

These are actually little tchotchkes I brought back from a conference I went to last week. The first two rows are rubber balls that light up when you bounce them (or smack them hard enough against something) and the last row is a spinning top with a little light on it. I thought it would be cool to turn off the lights, set the camera on a tripod, and queue up a really long shutter speed ranging between two and six seconds. Nothing incredible, but kind of neat.
