Abstract of Christmas lights, Mesa Arizona LDS Temple

            I attended a Flickr meetup at the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple, where we all looked at the annual display of Christmas lights and took a lot of pictures. In my case, I was using the Canon EOS 20D I had borrowed earlier in the day from cobalt123 because my own Nikon is not available to me for a couple of days. I took my tripod with me, but left it in the car, having decided to do some light-painting rather than try to figure out how to use the timer on the Canon. This was probably more fun anyway. 

All of the images in this series were taken at a shutter speed of 2 seconds, ISO 100, Canon 60mm lens at f/3.5. I simply pointed the camera at the lights, moved it around while the shutter was open, and took a peek at the results on the LCD screen. Apart from adding a little contrast, I did no postprocessing here.
