Photo Friday: Five
This one was shot in a pitch-dark room with an exposure time of 25s. I used a pen torch to illuminate only those things that I wanted the camera to see. The glowing 5s are caused by waving the torch to trace a 5 in the air.
I wouldn’t rate the picture very high on originality. I got this idea first from the recent issue of Time magazine, where they had published the picture of a scientist tracing an Omega trough air with a torchlight. Then I saw an entry by Dylon, that uses a similar technique, in this week’s photofriday noteworthy and decided to give it a shot (pun unintentional) myself.

Oh and this (with apologies to SB - I just couldn't resist.):

Deepak,
Is that really your picture? Are you using fiberoptics cable or what? Interesting picture-- Vijay

Thanks Tetsu!
Thanks Dylan! Thanks for dropping by!
Thanks Avis! That expression is called I_hope_this_one_turns_out_fine.
It took me several clicks to get it right. I would either botch the "five" or not light my face correctly or overexpose my hand.. you get the drift :)
Sorry Geets! Had no intentions of scaring people on this blog ;-)
Hey Sajith, even I am waiting for the elusive "SB" shot now!
Thanks Anonymous!
Thanks Inky! Never knew that this picture would exercise such a hypnotic/therapeutic influence on insomniac kids :-)
Thanks Richard! Frankenstein!! You are so kind in your praises ;-)
Thanks Kaushal!
Yes Vijay - the pic is every bit mine. Nope nothing as sophisticated as fiber-optics - just a plane old torchlight being waved in the air here.

But man, don't preserve, ur kids will get frightened.
