Let me be the first to predict that trying to duplcate this effect will be the next big trend on JPG! You need to write an article and let us in on how it's done! :)

I wish you'd post answers to all the questions. this is a community of learners. I have tried this and failed. My lines weren't as smooth and guided, so I'm presumming you've used a tripod and the blue is so digital, maybe this was your Iphone? Please share.

My first reaction when i saw was that it must be computer made. The fact that it isn't really makes it an spectacular image. Well done!

I think it's sad that you won't share your technique....it's suspicious to say the least.

All, thanks for the kind and skeptical comments. I have not been actively managing my account on this site, due to time constraints. As you see I have only two images I have uploaded to JPG, directly as a result of the Camera Toss challenge. Please check out my stream on flickr, and the Camera Toss group on flickr (that I moderate) for more images and some details regarding the technique. The link to same is in my profile description.
This image was created solely in-camera (as I don't have the sophistication with software programs to have created this digitally). The target for this image was a Jim-Boy's Tacos store front. The blue and red group of thin lines resulted from the alternating pattern LED "OPEN" display lights, the green and yellow membranous streaks from the store-brand neon lights (DC converted lights I believe as the AC current pattern is not evident), and the orange-ish streaks and 'background' yellow-ish streaks from a cowled light outside the store front and tungsten lights inside the store, respectively. The toss used to generate this image was approximately 4 feet high with a relatively slow rotation around the long axis of the lens (a barrel roll). A 'medium' amount of wobble was introduced into the rotation during the release to provide some sweeping curve elements in the overall pattern (less wobble produces a more circular pattern, more wobble produces more sweeping patterns, and an end-over-end flip of the camera produces more intersecting curi-linear patterns). Timing the shutter opening with different points of the toss (and using different height tosses to assist with this timing) is also responsible for generally repeatable patterns and allows one to "place" various repeatable patterns in the frame for overall composition (usually an iterative process). -
