Oh! This is great! I love this! This past Thanksgiving my sister and I did a long exposure while she drew a Christmas Tree. I may post next season! Thisi is wonderful! I'm impressed! Nice work Koh!

Really creative!
Normally they only shoot the neon
but it hardly ever occurred to anyone to add a vase.
Moreover the fulfillment of the idea is perfect:
you manged to compose it really well.

hello Koh

Very interesting result of your experiment! The neon flower effect from the led light pattern is very effective, but what I like best is the sharp focus on the edges of the curves; you must have 2 light source side by side?

The double exposure - you combine the 2 layers?

One of the most creative work.

Hi Koh,
This is an artistic way to play with light! And you did so well!
I like this unusual neon flowers! I admire your skills and the way you are creative! Bravo! Annie

Artistic and inventive, Koh - have you seen many of the shots from jens/headlessguy - I think you have a lot in common in may ways.

This is another great TL shot that we can all learn from, super stuff!

very artistic shot very nice to see new inventive shots like this on TL.

Very creative "painting with light" picture - extra bonus points for the shapes looking like flowers and not just random shapes! The use of the double exposure to include the vase is an excellent idea.
Thanks for sharing
Mark
