Inspiration hit me tonight while on another photowalk outside the hotel. The night sky was crystal clear and the moon was shining bright. While I was underneath a tree in the parking lot I looked up and saw interesting light patterns being created by the moon and the leafs. I played around for a little bit with just taking steady shots up through the tree, but it was not until I tried dragging the shutter that I started to get something that I really like. Today’s photograph was created by rotating the camera in my hand slowly during the one second exposure up through the tree into the night sky.

This photograph is another shot from the balcony on my hotel room this week. The fogged glass partitions between the rooms on the shared balcony often create these intriguing abstract light art at night. I made sure to get nice and close with the Leica point and shoot so that the textures of the light and glass would show. I finished the picture with a panoramic-type crop and a slight boost to the colors during post processing.
A self-proclaimed tech-geek, I enjoy anything powered by batteries or electricity. I'm not happy until I understand the full potential of any new gadget I get my hands on....
