Pendulum

Posted by Irene at October 14, 2004 04:55 AMIt's the Red Sox in the playoffs. Predictable downward spiral, ends with nothing.

Posted by E at October 14, 2004 06:13 AMGorgeous looking geometry.
Posted by miles at October 14, 2004 07:45 AMMy guess is a pen light tied to a string and given a fairly long exposure- maybe 30 seconds or a minute. This however doesn't explain the pure white in the image. A tungston light source would have an amber tone to it- unless you white balanced for the tungston light source prior to making the shot. This is my guess anyway... ;-)

Whatever it is, it is not at all visually pleasing to me.

Posted by hacker8000 at October 14, 2004 11:50 PMAbsolutely awesome. I love how when you look at something swinging, you might notice it moving in a circular pattern, but you don't see the absolute symmetry of it until to see a photo like this. There's order in everything! Wow.
Posted by Keri at October 15, 2004 01:33 AMit looks lyke my slinky-- before i straightened it.
Posted by chemical imbalance at October 15, 2004 09:36 AMIt is probably a time exposure of light bulb hanging from a string in a dark room. The camera is on the floor looking up to the moving lightbulb.
