moon glyph
kala point, wa (2005-12-14)
moon glyph and light bounce were inspired by the long-exposure night photography of Stuart Allen. (Visit the Photography section of his web site and select Dance Lines for some beautiful photographs.)
These two photographs were taken by setting the camera for a 4-second exposure, pointing it at the moon or lights in the distance, and slowly wobbling the camera.
