Not Nature - Bored and Fooling Around...

There's an indoor fun center in Sherwood, Oregon named Safari Sam's. I went there with my grandson and wife and while they were playing miniature golf (under black lights, fluorescent paint, etc) I was adjacent to the miniature golf area. It was dark but under the black light illumination. Feeling a bit bored, I noticed this unused air hockey table so I decided to take 5 minutes to be a little creative.

I set the camera and 17-85 lens so that it would expose for 4 seconds at ISO 1600 and f22. After the exposure began, I pushed the puck hitters (I don't know what those things are called) down the length of the table. Here's what I ended up with. It's not nature, but we can't be taking pictures of only nature, can we?

I dig the face. Futuristic.

Thanks for those that peeked in and left a reply. I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, especially at NPN. Heck, it's not even really my cup of tea! But, it was a diversion at the time... :biggrin:
