Photography Challenge #1: Photo 23 - Light Painting

I once saw a wedding photographer take a picture, then deliberately wiggle his camera. When I asked him what he was doing, he told me, "sometimes you get interesting results." These days, those interesting results is called light painting.

A flash at the beginning of the shot captures the subject. Wiggling the camera lets bright objects leave an impression.

The drinking bird is in the photo because I was trying to achieve something else entirely, earlier, and failed miserably. Perhaps I will have some success later, and will be able to bring my idea to fruition for the last photograph in this challenge.
