Spinning Threads of Light

Playing with long exposures is fun, especially when you have a subject that does light painting for you.  At that point, the only difficult part is to figure out the proper combination of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to yield a well balanced photo.  Fortunately, that task is something easily discerned after a little bit of practice.  Afterwards, you can get pictures like this fun bit of nighttime spinning!
