Electric Blanket by Donell Trostrud

This actually has nothing to do with electricity! I was playing with light & long exposure in my dark garage. I had a broken umbrella on the floor in front of the garage door, which was opened just a crack.

Beautiful. The light is so soft!
Still don’t understand how it was done though.
Thanks so much! It doesn’t seem to make sense, but it’s all about setting a long exposure (this was about 1.5 sec) and moving the camera back and forth. The light was shining under the door along the floor through colored cloth. Also, taking A LOT of pics to get a good one!

I’m impressed that you were moving the camera. I haven’t seen a shot done this way with such subtle results. Absolutely excellent. Thanks for the expl.
Great to read what you’ve done! Nice thing to try. Very subtle effect. Couldn’t have guessed this was an umbrella. Good work!
Thank you Peter! I should have taken a still shot to show people – it was hard to explain!
