Stairs Of Light

Well, it was completely dark since we had a blackout. I placed my camera on a chair seeing through the viewfinder as much as I could to place the stairs in. Selected f/9, focused manually and selected ‘bulb’ on time, meaning that the shutter would be open for as long as I wanted it. Then I took the remote and pressed it. I turned on the torch of my mobile phone and began tracing the lines of the stairs, trying to keep same speed everywhere. When finished I just pressed again the remote, and voila! :D
Hope this helped! :)

Haha, thank you dear! Well, I wasn’t sure if it was good at first because it’s just a stair, but I, too, liked its simplicity. Glad you see it the same way I do! :)
