I took a tomato cage and wrapped Christmas tree lights all around it. I then sat my camera shutter speed to 3.2 seconds. I wound up the camera on the camera strap. Next I inserted the camera inside of the tomato cage, pressed the shutter release with a 2 second timer. Then I let the camera spin as I swung it slightly from side to side. This is how the shot came out.

  That's cool and very creative. Not sure about it being a DD entry - maybe an EOD or catch all???? But then you got an EP award so it must be right.
