This was a couple of years ago. I never got round to posting it here at the time and the video’s a bit rubbish. It’s much prettier in real life! But seeing as I’m going through the backlog, why not. For some reason the camera would only capture half the streamers – it would be fine half a second, then go streamer-blind for half a second. Likewise it would only show the lighting of the flourescent tube at 2:01 intermittedly, although it was lit constantly. Very wierd. Quantum effects?
