Light Writer

This is a project i cobbled together over the last weekend, just finishing it up now. It's a handheld POV device for use when taking pictures with extremely long exposure times (think 10+ seconds). It's just a neat tool for photography.

(I'm working on getting a momentary pushbutton or two in there to

A: start the sequence
and
B: change the sequence to say something else)

Here's a thought:
What kind of results would you get if you pan the camera instead and keep the POV still? If you manage to do a really level pan you should get quite interesting pictures.
