I took this photo in late 2017 at a botanical garden in my hometown. Each year, they host a nighttime light show for a month, and since my mom works there, she let me in to see and photograph it one night. As I was walking around, the lights were definitely fascinating, however I felt if I experimented with my methods of taking photos, I could have more intriguing results. For this photo, I used my camera to create a long exposure of 12 seconds. I had set my camera on the ground to take this, so after I clicked the shutter, I ran around the lights to trigger the sensors that made them change colors and direction. In the end, I felt that this photo captures this years contest theme of investigation since I used varying lighting and camera settings to capture this unique image. When people see this photo, they don’t understand what it is, and have to investigate to figure out the answer, which I think is pretty neat.
