It is not neon with a blur. The “blur” you see is light scatter from the edge of the flashlight I used.
Read on: In a completely dark room I placed the paint brush on a large piece of white poster board, adjusted my camera settings to a desired f/stop ( I think f/8), connected my shutter release cable to the camera and with a small pen light started writing on the board. I did this maybe 20 times (different shots/exposures) and then went to my computer to see what I got. I like the light trails best in the shot you see here, but the handle of the brush was almost completely dark so that is why with a separate layer I added a more exposed section of the brush. You know…from a different exposure. I never moved the brush or camera so all the photos overlapped nicely.
I shot the photo in RAW and processed it with Adobe Lightroom and adjusted the white balance to tungsten. What I didn’t add in the description is that I did give the “original white light” the blue color with a color layer. So really the image is three layers; the original image, plus part of the brush, plus the color added.
I hope the final image looks easy to reproduce, but it really did take me a couple of hours from start to finish. It was an afternoon project to see what I could get. Just having fun!

Only entered in Digital Darkroom because I layered on part of the paint brush.
