Very cool, all things require practice.....which requires experimentation. You did great.

Thanks Ron. This is the second time we've given this shot a go.... tried it about 6 months previously with a little canon point and shoot camera. Was fun to do and will give it another go :)

Thanks Sonja... google 'ball of light' there is a photographer who makes a living doing this kind of photography. His photos are absolutely STUNNING. He shows you how he achieves the perfect 'ball of light'.... It takes ALOT of practice. Haven't mastered the proper circle yet, but will have another go sometime.
