Pat's Art Project

Driving back from Santa Cruz, Pat started taking pictures of the headlights and taillights with her digital camera.  The camera does not have a time exposure on it, so the pictures had little motion on them.  So, clever person that she is, she started moving the camera while taking the picture.  The digital camera gave instant feedback, so she could modify what she was doing without waiting to have the pictures developed.

This project is dedicated to Pat's former art teacher at Denison University, MK Campbell, without whom Pat would not have kept her life-long interest in art.

Pat combined some of the pictures and got this result.

Combined image with original black background.

Because of the black background, this would be difficult to print.  She removed the black areas from
some of the pictures and combined them with this result.
