Thanks for the comment. I was playing with painting with light by using a small flashlight and snooting it to light only parts of the sticks. I tried this method a bunch of times but this was my favorite. I know it looks like I set up two separate lights at each end but really it's just one flashlight and a finger to cover it while I was moving it around.
Those are some loooonnnng chopsticks! Nice composition. Any particular idea in mind for only lighting the ends of the sticks and not the middle? bee1000
