 Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path - Psalm 119:105

I "painted" this light path with light. To do so, I set the camera up on a tripod and set it to bulb mode, I think this one was 43 seconds...I started the exposure and then walked out on the path with my flashlight painting the path in the shape and form that I wanted on the ground...

The slower you move the light the brighter the path in the picture because there is more time for the light to write to the sensor in the camera...if you try it, wear dark clothes so you are less likely to reflect light into the camera.

The only Photoshop here is the border and the color desaturation.

This is one of my favorite images in the challenge. Daring to enter something biblically themed. The 6.184 is a pretty fine score for something with such a controversial subject (sad though that may be).

Sorry, but to me, this is not a "well-known, often heard" saying or phrase. Very interesting and nice image though.

I like the image but I am unsure if Psalm 119 is a cliche' in the true sense.
