I tried this for fun while testing the GXR P10 (that big site is testing it now and we can already foretell the overall score cos Ricoh does not start with a C or N). Anyway, let's have some fun with light! Click them open to see in colour.

"King, why are you in such a hurry?" "Dude, haven't you heard that the sky has fallen? I'm going to the spot."

"Hey, wait for us! We're going with you!"

Meanwhile, in a pitch-black woods several miles away, a flash came down from the sky at tremendous speed. Almost immediately, a silhouette of something mysterious appeared against the backlight.

The mystery was solved when the thing was lit up by the laser rays it beamed to the sky -- it was the robot outlaw from the Dead Star. Why was it here? For what purpose did it beam up the laser rays to the sky?

No one will ever know the answers because our hero, Kungfu Panda, came to the scene just before the robot made its next move. Kungfu Panda, using his newly acquired space situational awareness monitor, detected its arrival and timely destroyed the robot with the advanced GXR P10 laser cannon.
Notes on these shots:
1) Turn off the light. 2) The shutter speed was dragged to 6 seconds, enough for me to arrange the light beams. 3) Cover the ground with a plastic sheet to achieve the reflections. 4) For the second photo, the camera was pointed to a dark surface for the pre-flash, then to the light source and finally to the pre-arranged cars for the second-curtain flash. The focus was locked before pressing the shutter release fully. 5) Do try this at home.
