Hello Endre,
Nicely done! What a great effect. This would have worked for the last WA too. One can "see" the music your are playing. What a novel take on the WA.

Thanks for your kind comments, Carroll. I'm delighted that you like it. Regardless of how intense the piece is, I try not to grimace too much. I don't think you'd like a photo of me with my face all bunched up.
Warm regards,
Endre

Endre,
What a great idea. I love the movement - it gives the feel of a fast-paced piece.
Only one other thought: For that kind of intense playing, I expected your facial expression to be a bit more... expressive. The expression seems a bit bland for all the movement of the bow.
As always, though, I learn from your shots. Nice job!

Thanks, Jim, my friend! I'm delighted that you like it! This is a single exposure. I needed to get some extra practicing in.
Fond regards,
Endre

Nice long & multi-exposure, Endre. LEDs are fun, and I like the concept, and image. Though I don't know if playing a piece was necessary - my guess is its one of Mozart's divertimento.
Help me out here, I'm new to this photography thingamagic, trying to learn as much as I can. If the flash fires first, followed by 25 seconds of darkness, wouldn't the darkness overpower the initial exposure leaving the image looking dull/underexposed ?
In your picture, your face looks well exposed and the hand holding the violin looks underexposed (as I would expect the whole image to look).
Thanks

You got it, although, the flash went off at the start of the shot. Glad you like it!
Uh...no. I don't see how that would work. If the shutter is open in the dark, it is not registering anything. If I open the shutter at the beginning of a 25 second exposure and the flash fires, then the sensor will register the subject impression illuminated by the light burst. Following that, my moving the LED light around is registered as a continuous cumulative line on the sensor until the shutter closes. I've done a lot of my photos by opening up the shutter in the dark and then painting the subject with short bursts of light from a high intensity flashlight. Sometimes when I'm done doing that, I have to sit in the dark for several seconds until the shutter closes. No adverse effect to the photo that I am aware of. Here are a few examples of those photos:

Thanks for the info, shows I have oodles to learn.
PS. Love the strawberries...

I'm sorry, I thought the answer was amply covered in previous posts but here it is again. Thd flash fired first and then I kept the shutter open for another 25 seconds while i played music for the camera. I hope that helps to clarify it.
All the best,
Endre
