Light Dancers - a photo on Flickriver

Light Dancers

            I’ve noticed before that if you find some specular highlights and point a camera at them then wiggle you get some interesting script-like marks on the exposure. I first found them with sunlight on droplets.

It turned out the sea was even better, partly because of the profusion of highlights but also because they were a lot further away and so easier to keep a lot of them in focus.

This one was part of a series taken on the South coast here recently. It occurred to me later that being South-facing was helpful too as it places the light in the right place for this sort of thing. I seem rarely to get to the coast so much fun was had with the camera…

There are two troupes of dancers here - the sea and the surf. The camera was wobbled with jiggle and a little bit of twist.

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x :)
