Day 54

So, what to do when I need to capture an image and I'm too tired. Well, do this of course! And this is two blue LEDs on an oscillating fan. I put the camera in manual mode with a shutter speed of 5 seconds and an aperature of F22. Focus the camera, press the shutter release and zig, zag, and wiggle the camera et voila!  So, why the strobe effect? That's probably the 60 Hz AC powering the fan. Translate that to mean the LED is not continuously shining.  So there you go, an abstract image for tonight.
