I'd been meaning to do a lighting shot for a while now.

Actually, I played with a couple different lights.

My dog had this cool ball that when you bounced it it sparkled with red and blue lights. She of course promptly chewed it to pieces, but I snagged the little light mechanism thinking I'd try using it one of these days with the camera.

Well last night was that day! I taped it to the back of a large glass paperweight (upper right corner of the photo blurry part is my cat pulling the light and tape off the ball) turned off the overhead light and did some longish exposures. I also did some shots with a red lazer pointer (upper left, shining the light just into the ball, lower right, in and around the ball)

It was interesting to see what developed, great idea for this month's challenge!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

So where do they go when a photograph leaves you speechless?
