What happens when you combine two 8-yr-old boys + 2 light sabers + 1 mom with a camera + long exposure photo in the dark?
It all started with this:
Bearhug and Cuddlebug got a Lego Star Wars wii game for their birthday. As it turns out, they are scared of Star Wars so they were afraid to play the game, but they had a blast playing with the light sabers that came with it.
I was taking pictures of them when I inadvertently got this picture:
I had set a semi-long shutter speed since the room was fairly dark. Seeing the arcs of light from their movement gave me an idea.
I turned out the lights and asked the boys to do their thing with the light sabers in front of the camera.
In this one, they finished before the shutter was done and they both came walking over to see how it turned out while it was still going, so you can see their "trails" of light.

These are wonderful. They make me want to experiment with exposure too. Nicely done!
AWESOME!!!I am so excited by how cool these are. I experimented for the first time ever with slow shutter speeds last night. Only my shots were of the street light in front of my house and not even close to as cool as yours ;)
That was AMAZING !!!
I need to get this too
Wow, so cool. I love it!
This is cool!
Those were great -- I have a big grin on my face!
I like your other SOOC photos too.
What awesome pictures.
Great job on these.
Awesome.....I think I want a light saber now, ummm I mean my kids do.
Those turned out really neat! Too bad they're scared of Star Wars. Great movie. Hopefully they'll come around.
Wow. Very cool.
wow ! those are wild !!
Fantastic Pix!!!
Those are the COOLEST! I bet the boys were thrilled!
Very cool!

I can only utter the words "these shots are way cool".
Now I want to get my boys' light sabers and play with exposure.
How cool!
Cool effects!
You are using SLR/DSLR, right? I'm so envious... I want my camera now! haha~
Update: After watching dh play the Lego Star Wars game and realizing it's not scary at all, they decided to try it and they've been having fun with it :).
those are SO COOL!! I love them, and they tell the story so much better than the one of them with the lightsaber and no blur!
