Some Personal Work - Twin Cities at Night

My brother was in town over Thanksgiving and we decided to head out to downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. It's probably not something I'd do by myself (stroll around after dark with expensive camera gear), so I'm glad my brother was up for it.
Here's what caught my eye...








This is called "Painting with Light". Basically when the shutter is held open for a long period of time, the camera sensor picks up light and only stationary subjects can be seen. So... you can manipulate light rays (by using a flash light in this case) and if you move around fast enough the camera doesn't "see" you. Here you can see my legs (sort of) as I stood in one spot spelling the letters of my name.
