You explained exactly why I never tested kaleidoscope and lightpainting, it reminds me those guys who entered HDR photography back in the days and never escaped from it (and sometimes left photography after that).
But possibilities seem endless and it's a thing I must give a try one day. And @lampyre gave me one I never used^^
The way you took it is very interesting and refreshing (considering most of the pictures we can see in the same genre). Keep it up man!
