Hard Rock Neon Sign Lightpainting

I’ve been experimenting with a lot of long exposure shots on my Australia trip. When I saw this giant Hard Rock sign shaped like a guitar in the middle of Vegas-like, Surfer's Paradise, I knew I had to do something cool with it.

I can’t tell you exactly what I did here. I think it was a combo of a swoosh, turn, & a squiggly shabam.

Next time sit on an office chair and have @darkmotion push you around, that's probably easier :-p

Great effect. I like that the 'Hard Rock Cafe' is still quite sharp.
