Any pictures of traces that are related to physics, math, sports, and motion are welcome!

"Light Traces" is a hands-on activity of the Exploratorium, San Francisco.

Try it:
The pictures were taken with a regular digital camera set to an exposure time of 1 second. The lines you see were created by the small lights of a Christmas light string.

You can use any small light source to make the trace of a moving object visible (bicycle light, flash light, key light). Just attach the light to the object, and make sure the room is completely dark. Then take a long exposure picture of the moving light using your Digi Cam (exposure time: 0.1 to 10 sec, or more if you can).

THE light to use: INOVA MICRO LIGHT, $5 at TacLighting.
