“Drawing Circles with Light”
Sometimes photography becomes a dialogue between light and motion.
After capturing the stillness of Spoorpark, I decided to try the opposite — movement. With my Canon 5D Mark IV and the Sigma 24–70 Art still set to ISO 3200 and a 6-second exposure, I aimed for the Westpoint Tower and began to draw circles with my camera.
In those few seconds, the static lights became fluid — ribbons of color swirling through the darkness. The sensor recorded every trace of that movement, translating intentional motion blur into something new: a painted rhythm of photons and time.
It’s fascinating how a simple circular gesture can turn structured architecture into abstract light art — proof that photography isn’t only about freezing moments, but also about exploring what happens when we let them flow.
Photography, after all, is just another way of studying light and life.
