I have a similar photo, when someone bumped my tripod as I was photographing the Bastille Day fireworks in Paris. I’ll see if I can find it. ---

I know I have a handful of “Whoa! How the fuck did I do _that_?” phone pics as well, but that one is really cool. ---

I can see jiggling the camera and getting squiggly lines but squiggly lines _and_ straight lines? It’s a mystery. ---

Looks like a multiple exposure (would account for the straights and squigglies). Look closely and you can see repeated patterns. Maybe multiple images of 3 or 4 lights? In any case, it’s cooler than an icicle. mmm ---

Great photos here. Trying to work out what to post next. Here’s one I took in Havana, Cuba: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/5801/22273102260_2fe463f148_b.jpg "In the Shadow of the Red") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/cttm/22273102260/) ---

My son and I drove to Rexburg, Idaho in 2017 to see and photograph the total solar eclipse. Here`s an HDR comp I did of a sequence of images, to highlight the various parts of the Sun’s structure: [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/IOPyN86.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/IOPyN86) You can see the surface of the Moon lit up by Earthshine if you look closely. ---

Here’s a ‘Spooky Moon’ shot I did for a Halloween story: [![Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/DX0gOFY.jpeg "imgur.com") ](https://imgur.com/DX0gOFY) The Moon was shot with an 8" Celestron Telescope, while the clouds were shot with a Canon DSLR at the same time. I then comped the two images together. ---
