Light Show 2

Fire in the dark - Nocturnal lux

Normally light is only the means to create a photographic image.
But here I've crossed the line: Light has become the motive itself.

In this collection I have broken two fundamental rules: Make sure there's enough light, and keep the camera still.

Instead I went out into the night, and kept the camera moving while photographing moving objects.
No flash, but long exposure. Photographing in the dark and shaking the lens at any photon drifting by. Sounds like a recipé for chaos?
Yes, most of the times, but now and then new order arise from chaos, presenting views I would never have envisioned myself.
It sounds like a paradox, yet such photos may be shaken and sharp.
