This is what long exposure is all about--sharpness where needed, and motion captured. Superb!

I'm jealous. I've wanted to take this picture forever. I snoozed; I losed. Or, I snost; I lost.
Amie V (84 months ago | reply)
Thanks!
And curvaparabolica, you should still take it! I would love to see your perspectives. :)

How do you keep an idiot like me entertained? Neon + motion. It's a good thing I don't live near there, or I'd be sitting outside right now staring at it.
Amie V (84 months ago | reply)
Neon and motion is great fun, and it is even better when it is right down the street!

I'm almost certain this one shot renders all other pics of the Sputnik obsolete. Great job, keep up the good work.

Amie V (76 months ago | reply)

I liked in the Ronda Kia? apartments in college just yards away from this icon.
Amie V (59 months ago | reply)
I lived at the Stratford Place apts, just a couple blocks down the street from this sign. It's a great sign. :)
Gail S (59 months ago | reply)
This is the best. I must go back and try shooting this again. You've inspired me, Amie.

The Joe's Liquors Roto-Sphere was #37 of about 234 produced. There was another Roto-Sphere in Memphis produced in 1969 (the second to last one made). I'd love to know where it was and what became of it!
The one in Lakeland, FL has just been restored -- here's an article with a video:
