Abstract Apperception

My first attempt at the double exposure lens cap trickery. I don't think it's too bad for a first attempt.

More than double, it is actually four compositions during one continuous exposure, lens capped then refocused between each. Started with a printout of the wire-frame head lit using Cold Cathodes, then composed for the circuit boards, composed again with some close-up fans and a CPU heat sink so I could wave the red and greens lights around behind them and finally wide angle for the Cold Cathode waves and light rod set to colour-strobe.

No Photoshop or editing, image created entirely in camera. Just added watermark.

Image created for my entry into the 'Abstract Art' theme in Light Painting competitions and themes this month.
