Had another play, starting to get a bit better
Thanks for the input.
Thinking need to try a smaller light output and sharper focus.

These are so close to the shapes i got! Setup must have been very similar. https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/led-fun.566853/#post-6570296

The complex seems to give very similar results alright, it needs real messing about to try and alter the output.
Both of these are single exp complex, no real pp on these, just trying out shapes.

Nice one, they do tend to lean towards heart shapes for some reason, Highlights need pulling back a bit is all.
I think high lights completely blown. I need to retry but with a narrower aperture or reduced light output. I also need to find a way of rotating and cropping the image sonic can mirror and rejoin in a better alignment.
I see you have produced some cracking ones.

This one is just a plain old ellipse,
Pendulum was around 16 ft long, the swing from left to right was around 13 ft 5 min 23 sec exp. I got fed up waiting, as the swing is very slow, was just trying it out to see if there was much if any difference.
colour balance is as shot, its blue for some reason.

Nice for just a plain old eclipse.

I'm just sharing this one more or less as shot, as you can clearly see the way the cycles work on a complex pendulum, first cycle lasted around 18 secs and each other cycle lasted 2 secs less than the one previous.

Did i miss something? What is the complex pendulum you are using?

Its just a piece of string tied twice to a bar and then another piece of string tied to the center of that. Most of mine have been with a simple pendulum.

Okay, just wondering if my hanging weight is to light, so not enough to keep the momentum (lots of loss between revolutions).

Always big loss in the first 20 secs or so.
After that it should balance out.
If you're getting a loss throughout then try adding a weight.

Was the light source turning on and off?

I thought the light source was disappearing.... nice.
I find myself without camera at the moment.
I just dropped my LX100 whilst messing about with vehicle light trails ......

Results were not as good as i had hoped, but they are promising.
pretty much as shot, no cloning or mirroring.
The sharp angles of the pattern seem to make it jittery, not smooth and unsharp.

Mate, I'm gutted, I loved that little guy.
I got a quote of Panasonic but it was more than I paid for the camera.
They are sending it back to me (charged me), so I may try myself, nothing to use.
I have just purchased a camera from the forum here, so hopefully I will have something to use soon but the LX100 was a great combination of size, performance and build. If one pops up again I may not be able to resist.
