Photographic Magic

Digital arts.  Here are SOME of the results of my recent explorations of what can happen when I use just light as my paintbrush.   I had taken a bunch of photos of lights a few years back that I started messing with.  Mostly Christmas tree lights.  The original photos themselves were rather fun.   But I started flipping, reversing, and combining them together, and I think I see a great deal of potential here...

I had some comments about what I see in some of these, but I'd rather hear your interpretation- leave me a comment!

Like a Rorschach test- what do you see?

For some reason the style of this one reminds me of Bjork's Vespertine album...

Why put a bird on it when you can add a tree?
(Also, I have bunch of photos of trees and branches I've been doing stuff with... to be posted later )

(And this is the one you may have seen in my blog's background.)

The bad news is that I was working from photos off an old camera with a pretty low file size,  so I'm not sure how big of prints I could get from these without doing some pretty creative upscaling.  But I'm excited to see what I can do with the equipment I have now.
