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! #2900334

THe rings of colors are very well done. Reminds me of a rainbow. Very vibrant and vivid. #2908594

Chris Budny level-deluxe June 21, 2006

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. #2928517

Glenn E. Urquhart June 21, 2006

Stunning image, Christopher!!! Vivid colors, very well composed, very creative, unique and quite beautiful! Cheers, Glenn. #2928958

Chris Budny level-deluxe June 21, 2006

Thank you Glenn! I really like the way it turned out, particularly after cropping off some of the excess black background. #2930581

Kay Beausoleil June 27, 2006

Don Johnson level-classic July 25, 2006

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. #3076327

Chris Budny level-deluxe July 25, 2006

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! #3076645

Barbara Helgason September 26, 2006

Wonderful effects Christopher! Congratulations! #3367184

Chris Budny level-deluxe September 26, 2006

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! #3367437

Don Johnson level-classic September 27, 2006

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)? #3371511

Chris Budny level-deluxe September 27, 2006

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! #3371861

Don Johnson level-classic September 27, 2006

Whatever the reason, this is certainly a stunning image! #3373140

Chris Budny level-deluxe September 27, 2006

Thanks so much, Don... I appreciate your continuous encouragement! #3374640

RC Fritz October 24, 2006

Great image Chris. Fantastic colours and composition. Congratulations!! #3493601

Chris Budny level-deluxe October 24, 2006

Thanks, RC! Sometimes, it pays to resubmit a favorite image to the contest! #3494524

Joanne Kramer July 21, 2007

A fun play with color. I like it. #4537190

Chris Budny level-deluxe July 22, 2007

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! #4539137
