Remember the straws from a couple of weeks ago? Where in the world can you get so much color for less than $2?

I don't usually do enough with slow shutter speeds, so decided to play with the straws. They're very patient and forgiving. For this image I set my aperture at 32 to get an 8 second exposure and then rolled the bundle of straws over two times while the shutter was open. It was actually fun.
