366 Days of 2012, Day 78 - City Light Mural

There's been quite a bit of interest lately in 'light painting', a curious form of camera blur where patterns of light are created by moving bright lights around a fixed camera during a long exposure to paint images.

Well, this is not one of them! This image is the opposite: the lights are fixed and I moved the camera around.

In fact this is probably one of the most common forms of camera blur you will see as people attempt to take photos with iPhones late at night down brightly lit city streets in various states of alchohol-induced, uncoordinated staggering.

For the record I was not under the influence of any substance other than 'fun' when I captured this image of the Rosemont Hotel in Hindley Street, Adelaide!
