Extraordinary Dancing Lights…

It is interesting how sometimes the accidents and mistakes turn out to be some of my favorite pictures. I have taken pictures like this before, with longer exposures and then purposefully moving the camera around while the shutter is open, but I tend to forget about it until I try and take a photo in low light and wind up with a very blurry photo with some short streaks of lights (not holding the camera steady). It is always at this point that I remember that I can do some interesting things this way.

This image was taken that exact way, I have several shots that I made prior to this one and after and I like all of them but this one really stood out to me because it looks like a group of dancers moving in unison. Light is an amazing thing and some of the things you can do with that light is quite amazing as well.
