Achieved using only a primitive orbing kit per the link above.

It has been an age since I cracked out some orbs and the lack of
practice soon caught up on me when my hand cramped up on only the 5th
shot. Very lame bearing in mind I've done an hour straight in the
past.

All 5 shots I attempted tonight used a 2-colour combo which meant I
had to find a best method of stopping the swing without really
screwing up the form of the orb. Both strings had a knot in them to
act as a grip, and the knots were made the same distance away from the
weight clips in order to keep size consistency. Upon completion of
each colour spin I pulled the string up sharply in order to stifle the
decreasing rotations and hide the smaller lines of light within the
bigger form. Think it worked ok. Both orbs were on uneven surfaces
with slight slopes so they were never going to be spot on.

I might persist with these from time to time as I like the simplicity
of the set up. No soldering, wiring prep, etc etc.

OK...not my finest Orb, but that's what happens when your lights die half-way through the spin. Darn it! I quite liked the sky in this one though.....

Well, I knew it would come down to this one of the days this week. I have been couped up in the library for 16 hours so far this week and it is only going to get more intense as the week goes on.
T-3 until exam day...Bring it on!!!!
If I am stuck for ideas tomorrow, you may have to suffer a photograph of my study beard! I am currently on shaving-strike.

p.s. thanks to the Mail, the Telegraph and the Huffington Post for some very welcome coverage today! I promise to get back to my light painting just as soon as I can:
