Composing photos blind — for example, trusting the position of the lens as it sits on an surface — is a risky thing. A lot of photos come out as crap, which is totally understandable. There is little to no control over what actually makes it into the photo. I keep the results of most of my blind-composed photos to myself, but this one turned out so-so:
No big version either; the 1600-pixel shot is a tad too grainy for my own taste. That’s me holding the damned lights. I would have taken another shot, since there is a chair in the corner and all that, but I noticed that all the spinning and twirling has caused the series circuit of LEDs in the snake light to be unstable.
The price we sometimes pay for art, hmmm?

One word, tripod unless you want to add another word, digital camera (instant replay). I do so love your photography.

That looks like the sonar screen from one of those subway war movies.

Okay, duh. Not subway, submarine. That was my blonde moment for the day.
