Rahzizzle: That is a dope pic you made there. How many tries did it take before you got that shot?

My photo was taken with an old 1985 Minolta 7000, 35mm SRL camera. It was not altered in any way (ie: no Photoshop.) The DJ is a good friend of mine... and I remember he actually got a lot of shit for wearing that shirt that night, LOL! ...Just like your photo, the light swirl effect was created by slowing the shutter speed down a few seconds (essentially time-lapse) ...but instead of moving the light source like you did to spell smoke... I swirled the camera around in my hand as I took the picture... creating those light swirls which were fixed light points in the background.
Thanks for kind words bro... I plan to start posting random stuff more often.
