  Karen & Ray, thank you so much! The idea struck me right before bed, and it was kinda funny taking the picture; I positioned the lamp flat on a futon (w/ dark fabric) with all the other room lights off, and stood on the arm of the futon waving my camera around near the ceiling for many 1-2 second exposures!

  Thanks, Don! I plan to continue in the series, once I found this one among my many first attempts... I like the "smooth" feel to the colors and the curves.

  Thank you Glenn! I really like the way it turned out, particularly after cropping off some of the excess black background.

  Chris, I can't believe this did not win a Finalist Award. This is sooooo cool. I really like this photo. I think the judges really messed up on this one.

  Thanks, Don... it was my favorite "hopeful" for June... But I think I will just have to resubmit it, until they see the error of their ways... hahaha!

  I just had a strong feeling about this one... someone suggested a different category, which seems to have made all the difference! Thanks so much, Pat!

  Thanks, Barbara... I really liked this one alot; the "Light Plaid" also just made it to Finalist this month, from the same photo shoot, but I think this is the better camera motion image of the two!

  Chris, this is one of my favorites of your shots. Well deserved winner. Didn't you enter this last month (but it did not win)?

  Thanks, Don--you've got it, but there's a twist. This image was a July Contest Finalist... and I believe it may have been a resubmit in July, having not made it anywhere in the May contest (I'd have to look over my notes for May!)
But then, in the August Finalists just announced, my "Light Plaid" made it (taken in the same photo shoot as this.) "Light Plaid" was also a resubmit; I believe both times, I entered the photos in something other than Special Effects, not realizing that the long shutter speed & camera motion would be ideal for that category!
Phew!

  Thank you, Joanne! It was a lot of fun to make the picture, although it took many, many shots to get one that I could use!
