About this limited edition photograph:

The light painted photograph “Electric Serpent” was created on the Trout Run Trail near The Cut in Decorah, Iowa.

To create this light painted photograph I placed my Canon T3i camera on a tripod and I used a long exposure of 184 seconds. To create the green spirograph effect I taped green LEDs to a 3ft diameter circle made of plywood. I attached a handle to this circle so that I could roll it down the trail, and I zig-zagged my way towards the camera during the long exposure. 

This photograph came off my camera as-is, and involved zero post-processing or Photoshop.
