    I think pacman was invented in the very early 80s about 1982, and space invaders about 1979, but its ok theyve gone now.

    Hope you don’t get asteroids, if you do you will have to build a little triangle shaped thing and fire full stops at the buggers

    But for fucks sake don’t hit the thrust button or the hyperspace 😮

    The glow sticks are fading a bit, didnt come out too well.
    Led torches are better.

    The green bit was meant to be the triangle, forgot the full stopslike i said the glow sticks were fading, it isnt photoshop, its done on a long exposure and with 2 glow sticks.
    Ill buy an led torch and a laser tomorrow it works loads better.

    No not bored, its something I have been planning to do with my photography, you can get some really good effects, me and my little girl were just messing about tonight but all we had was glow sticks which arent really bright enough to get a decent effect.

    I must admit though, the pictures are quiet unique. What sort of camera are you using there, and what length of exposure?. I love photography but I have never done any long exposures, I like taking the ‘still life’ kind of photos. I use a Nikon cool pix (can’t remember the number) but it takes good enough quality pictures for me to put though my digital printer with good results.

    canon eos 400d Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens , F13 open at 15mm
    exposure between 1 minute and 3 minutes.
    Heres a first attempt at a butterfly by Jaye my 6 year old girl, I was impressed!

    Its a massive banger, its from the fiesta in Spain I go to, you’re only allowed to buy them when the festivals are on, 18 euros for a box of 20, but man they sound like a car bomb, unbelievably loud, I’ve even seen one blow a massive wheelie bin to bits, (Spanish lads did that not me)
    nobody ever gets hurt though, not like it would be here.
    and yes, that photo is taken in spain, not one I smuggled back lol

    To be honest. I thought it was a chip. The chip from the Guinness Book of Records, not the longest but the most explosive

    It was just before I threw it at a bunch of spanish lads who had been letting the smaller quieter ones off under our hotel window for a good half hour, under 18s only get the crappy ones, they scattered like pigeons with a cat in amongst them. :lol1:

    When I was a full time commercial photographer, ( many moons ago now) we would some times use flash to light a big subject. We would actually paint the scene (usually interiors) with hand held flash strobes using the ‘b’ setting on the camera. ‘b’ is for Bulb which means the shutter is open from when you press the shutter release to when you release it. Great depth of field as you would have a really small aperture setting on the lens. Just walk around in the near dark and ‘paint’ the scene with the flash.

    Great fun
