This shot was captured by putting my camera onto of my left hand and lowering it until my hand got wet! I then made the exposure with my right hand.

Streaky…

Light Festival

Spain at night…
An oldie but a goodie… visiting Madrid with my old Canon G7, I captured this image by balancing the camera on a bench. Canon G7, 1/4s @ f/2.8, 7.4mm
