this one is about making that "traced light" look. where light is being bent around the form, and creating this really thin rim effect..... it's not quite like a rimlight. it's actually photons curving around the form (wave / particles doing what they do) to make a quick appearance in ways that no particle should be able to.
so that's what we're doing here. that explosion of light just off my shoulder.... i have no idea what that is. looks cool, though. looks like a puff of dust. maybe my chin is extremely dusty, and i moved and shook some dust out just before the picture was taken. i dunno. anyways. the key to this traced effect is to have the distant flash pretty far away.... i think in this shot it's about 16 feet behind me. i had to grid it so it doesn't light up the entire room. i think if it was maybe 20 feet back i'd get a traced effect on the back of my neck too. maybe. there it is. bye!
