oh how i wish i could draw.. or something like that..

so... the other day i went to look at christmas lights at the legislature grounds.. while there i was looking at the lights and i had the ~brilliant~ idea to try and do something.. to try and draw a shape with the lights, just a simple shape.. should be easy enough right?  ...wrong.  ugh.  so wrong.  ...i am not so skilled at the skilled art of light painting.. i just like to mess around you see.. i did not realize that drawing a simple shape by moving your camera around was not a simple act.. and there were oh so many lights.. and i am a stubborn person, and i am not a hurried person.. so i ended up standing there attempting to get a darn shape for a long time.. people probably wondered what the hell i was up to.. but whatever.
i did however get some purty pictures out the deal.. just not the shapes i was looking for, so i thought i would post them here.. that way maybe someone will see them?  & at least i can look back at them later...

i stood in the same spot the whole time.. but the lights were everywhere.. and i decided i liked the lights to my right for this better, so the rest of them were taken in that direction...

 

 

so yeah.. there is lots of them... but there is a heck of a lot more of them really...
on the way home, while waiting for the bus i checked the time on my camera.. the time of the first one i took and the last.. i stood there for 20min!!  20min trying to get it right!  but nope.  ..so i have 20min of these.. ugh.  but oh well!~  it was worth a shot!
