Night Jedis
 

Here's some fun we had the other night.
Found a friend's toy lightsabre ("It's NOT a toy" he blusters.) and went outside to play with timed exposure.

For those that care, it's a Nikon D70, 18-70mm used at the wide end with shutter speeds varying from 4 - 6 seconds and finishing off with rear-curtain sync flash. Even with it being handheld, I'm surprised at the results.
These aren't technically perfect, but worth the fun we had. That, and the cocktails get the blame.

Without the rear curtain sync'd flash and shorter exposure.
