Prolonged Exposure

Went stargazing with my fiance last night and had a little fun with some Laser Tag blasters.  Never thought to take advantage of the "Christmas Tree Lights" adorning the Phoenix LTX like this before!  The players in the MLTA frequently call the LTX the "Christmas Tree Blaster" when nightfall hits during our games, as it makes it easier to spot your opponent unless they've modified their blaster to either cover or dim the LED displays that give your position away.

When you move quickly, you get a dotted effect from the LEDs, as they do have a slight flicker to them.  When you move slowly, the flicker blurs together and you get a longer line.  We messed around with different movements, stopping to let our "shadow" get recorded a few times.  It was a lot of fun to create these photos together!

We've got another outdoor laser tag game coming up mid-October that should be a lot of fun.  I love this time of year when the air is crisp and the leaves are crunchy!  Laser Tag just makes it that much better!
