A child in the darkness

Description

He had been wandering in the darkness for a long, long time. He couldn't remember what the sky looked like, or the sun. And then something wonderful happened...

I wasn't sure if this should go in the darkroom category or not. It's experimental, but not processed.

Yesterday I was playing with my camera, still learning the settings as it was a chrimbo present, my first dSLR.

I wondered what the max exposure setting would be on manual, 30", then BULB. I didn't have a clue what bulb was, so took a photo, and discovered it was an indefinite exposure!

"Hmm, this could be fun..."

So I wrote a valentines message for a loved one, using a blue and a red LED kering. It worked. And then I got thinking. I took 30 photos this evening in the dark, trying different things, doodling, trying to "grid" the room. Then I got bored and figured I'd just wave my arms around. And this came out.

I'm not sure if I'm the only person who see's a child, in scribble form, head down in a downcast state, almost like a lost child? Or a child looking down in amazement?

I think it's a child to me as it reminds me of a kids scribbled drawings?
