World of Crystals


This is a photo I took for a Morgan Hill Photography Club Flickr project ("Still Life"). I like it because it is dramatic and a bit other-worldly. During a 4 second exposure in a dark room, I "painted" the crystals and ball with a small LED flash light. After a lot of trial and error, I finally captured what I had visualized in my mind. I tried to recreate it later with the camera set at a higher resolution, but could not. The heart is on the crystal ball to celebrate Valentine's Day.
