Holy Long Exposure

The weather outside here in Harrisburg isn't very conducive to outdoor shots, so I'm having fun in the hotel room with my camera.

I set the exposure to ten seconds and moved the blue light on my keychain around the perimeter of the book.

Very cool effect Michael! The blue hue to your hand makes it look as though the light is coming from the book...

You know what?

It's incredibly gimmicky and I was poised to immediately delete it when I saw the thumbnail, but after looking at it the light on the hand is exquisite and the theme keeps you looking.

The guy who wrote "Confederacy of Dunces" John Kennedy O'Toole's also wrote "Neon Bible" when he was 16. It's a great picture and I'd of thought the publishers could use this it's very suitable!
