Photographs of a red & green laser in my friend's apartment in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC

Saturday night I was on my way over to a friend’s 1990’s-themed house party and when I got to the house I realized that I had left my bicycle lock at my home. Perturbed, I hopped back on my bicycle, pedaled home as fast as I could, and when I arrived at my house, I received a text message from a different friend asking me to bring over his laser that he’d left at my house the previous night. I weighed my options and decided to bring the laser to my friend’s apartment in Adams Morgan. After I arrived, we decided the best place to shoot the laser in the apartment was down the length of his long hallway. I noticed that there was a tripod in the kitchen, so I decided to get out my small camera and take some photographs of this major laser in the hallway.

The following photographs were taken using my Canon SD750 and the aforementioned tripod and laser using long exposure settings to capture the geometric designs the laser created:

This shot was taken with the camera moving. If you look closely, in the center of the photograph you can see the hallway door

Animated GIF of two photographs showing the hallway at different exposures.
The second image was slightly modified to line up the floor, however this caused the crack below to door to move slightly.

This shot was taken with my friend stretching out their arm to support their weight against the wall
The result of the timelapse + laser is that their body became colored by the laser beams.

My friend leaning against the wall as the laser paints her body.
If you look closely, you can see her purse and right arm.

If you look closely, you can see the way the laser light disperses within the fur fabric.
