Really good set Derek...on top of what you've produced previously.
I reckon some of these would look really good printed with a view to wall mounting...have you considered creating a series to sell?

Very very good. Loved your set from last year and tried to emulate them. Nowhere near as good. Thanks for showing again.

Cheers guys, i genuinely appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.
I have always been fascinated by these since I stumbled upon the idea,
It was a shot in the main gallery originally that gave me the idea, it wasnt a light trail shot, but who ever took it said they had used a light on a string to light the object, and that got me thinking
That they suggest form and depth mystifies me as they are basically flat,
Karlo and David, thanks, but i would neither know how to go about it or even what to charge
Anyway thank you again and here is a big thank you

Brilliant combination of impressively creative technical achievement and the laws of physics.
Same as the old Spirograph (anyone remember them?). Dragging some distantly remembered murk from deeply buried brain cells, I think the technical reason might be that the swinging light is mathematically equivalent to a point moving on a surface in a multidimensional space and the images are 2-dimensional projections of (or is it slices through?) the multidimensional landscape. But, of course, you already knew that!
Have you invented the Optical Harmonograph ???

Definitely not a secret, I posted the way I do it a couple of years ago,

Here are a couple of shots
No mirroring or replicating, just basic edits.
