 Because I lost a bet with Rikki, he got to add to the challenge description to make my image more difficult.

Rikki's additional rule: Your shot must include a lightbulb and bright red lipstick.

This is what I came up with.
Shot in my studio, Savanah (oldest daughter) is the model. We shot zillions before I got the combination of blur and non-blur that I wanted to help show the 2 second exposure. She started out facing the camera, but I eventually turned her around because she had about 5 pounds of lipstick on by that time. :)

I like this but I find it hard to believe that it is a two second exposure.

A very nice photo, but seems almost a little to busy compositionally.

Red Lipstick + Light Bulb

I can't believe this one is scoring a 5! Inconceivable... I mean Incon-theevable (Princess Bride pun).

The motion here isn't as apparent. I can see it in the hair and the movement in the right hand as you (?) apply your makeup. The left hand has a bit of shake with I think makes the image suffer. But damn it, you can't stay still without moving just a tad.

Anyway, you have been a great sport Cindi and are one of my highly regarded photographers on the site. The use of "white" is really a trademark of yours. The colors make this image pop and the red is a nice touch. I think we'll be seeing low scores on this challenge. I hope this one goes up higher than median because it does meet the challenge to the mark... as well as my challenge to you.

For being a great sport Cindi - 10 ;)

this is a great shot, but I a not sure it is demonstrating the sprit of the 2 second challenge...while it may have been a 2 second exposure, it might as well have been a 1/200 exposure if you know what I mean...wonderful shot though

OH very cool. I can't believe you got all that going on and it's not a complete blur. Nicely done.
