Set the camera to be less sensitive to light (lowest ISO setting, high aperture value). That way if you're moving, the camera won't be able to capture all the light you're reflecting off at any given position!

yeah i got the idea from your shot ray where you wrote your name....i also wrote my name in light but didn't post because that would've been a direct copy.....meh what the heck, i'll post it anyway. p.s. i just had my camera (Nikon D60) on the auto setting and held the flash cover shut whilst i had the trigger button pressed half way in, this automatically changes the camera settings to a long exposure. i had it set to a 10 second timer so i had time to grab the LED light and figure out which way i was going to walk before the shutter opened.

So which colour did you settle for?

The blue looked nice but I couldn't read it as I believe it was written in hebrew..

The photo is of one of the Destroyed Gas Chambers in Auschwitz-Birkenau, The placards were placed there as a memorial and the candles lit....

My bad I thought they were paint tins and you trying to settle for which colour to go for.

Auschwitz and Birkenau are two seperate compounds (Birkenau being the bigger of the two and where the pic is from) and a fair distance apart (short drive).

The Germans blew up the main gas chambers (at Birkenau) they used for "the final solution" as they were fleeing from the allies. The gas chambers at Auschwitz are still intact and are much smaller. You walk through them as part of the guided tour.

Tell you what though, such a moving place to visit. If ever you're in or Poland, I recommend going there. Hard to comprehend what went on there. It really was a "death factory".
