saw this technique on the strobist a while back, and always wanted to try it, but never got around to it until today. it's a pretty easy one, you set your camera up on a tripod, turn off all the lights, open the shutter for 30 seconds or more, wave a ipod touch / phone around with the screen all lit up (courtesy of the free "flashlight" app) and paint the light in where you want it. you have to make sure your model holds still, and that's about it. one mysterious, strangely lit picture coming right up.
in this shot i was trying to avoid letting the raw ipod light shine back at the camera, but in a few i played with that idea, and it looks kinda cool. there's a big swirl of light just floating there. would be fun to explore further, maybe even do something like ziser did here.
