These were a lot of fun because you can pretty much write any kind of message or draw absolutely anything with light! Words were hard to write though, because you have to learn to write backwards and do it fast.  This is now my husbands new hobby, he was a lot of help on this project!

3. Camera Motion:

It is amazing how lights create these lines and shapes just by holding the light in place and moving your camera around.

I took a lot of these to get it just right and to get a cool effect on the second one.  I used a small white flash light and a red laser pointer to make these.  I think they turned out really pretty.
