Whenever I've tried a ball of light photo I've always used someone else to create the ball for me. I've tried myself, but my attempts have been pitiful. When I got home tonight I thought I'd have a practice. The backdrop is rubbish & the street lighting gave the image a weird orange glow that I've edited out, but the ball looks much better than anything else I've created.

If only I could have photographed my neighbour's face when he stepped outside for a cigarette & saw me swinging a bunch of LED's round.....
