Tonight I was camping out in my 5 year old granddaughter’s room, lying on a mat on the floor.
I looked up and saw the ceiling fan.
I remembered a youtube demo of light writing. Have been working on light writing at school with the students and thought I’d experiment.
Maura said the fan made her too cold so it was not a lengthy experiment. Not as many variations as I would have liked to try. I think it would work well with regular glow sticks. She liked the way the photos looked, though. Crazy Grandma.

You need a darkened room.
Set your camera on bulb setting ( or long exposure)
Manual focus
A tripod would have been useful. I just braced it so it’s soft focus.
I used a Flashing/Glowing White Lighting Stick and tried three different settings.
You need some tape (that won’t damage the paddle) to attach the light source to a ceiling fan blade.
Here are the Light Write Experiment results
Here is one I did at school with LED Christmas Lights, trying to make and intentional circle shape.
Amazing photos Ruth!
Thanks Rainee. It was crazy fun to try it tonight.
Cool. What kid wouldn’t want to camp out with Grandma on a mat? You’re not Crazy Grandma. You’re Fun Grandma. 🙂
Makes me wish I had some grandkids to do this with!
Cool indeed!! Maura must have been very impressed 🙂
You definitely make my mind soar creatively! Thank you Ruth
That is so cool! My kind of art.
Your brain never stops!
You’re so clever!
That is so creative! The last one is dramatic.
Your grandchildren have all the fun!! I want a lightening stick!
Private message your address in email and I’ll send you one if you really want it Patti
What a fun Grandma you are, Ruth. Fascinating images. 🙂
Cool!
Very cool images, the colours are quite psychedelic!
You are so creative!
Quite sci-fi!
wow, fantastic … now to try it out!
Trippy photos! Very cool experiments.
And instead of “Crazy Grandma”, I call you “Hip Grandma.” You’re one of the coolest grandmas I’ve met! 🙂
